Steps:
- For the sundried tomato pesto: Put the sundried tomatoes and their oil in a food processor along with the basil, Parmesan and salt. Process to combine.
- For the chicken Parmesan: Season the chicken cutlets on both sides with the salt and pepper. Cut them in half crosswise. Using 3 wide, shallow bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, beaten eggs in the second, and combine the panko, Parmesan and oregano in the third.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour to coat lightly, shaking off the excess. Dip the chicken into the egg and then into the panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crust to the chicken. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until golden brown on the first side, 3 to 4 minutes. Gently flip all of the chicken over and layer 1 mozzarella slice on top. Cook until the second side is golden brown and the mozzarella has melted, about 4 more minutes.
- Transfer the chicken to a serving platter, mozzarella-sides up. Spread about 1 tablespoon of Sundried Tomato Pesto on top. Put a tomato slice on 8 of the pieces, and then top them with the remaining 8 pieces, mozzarella sides down, to make little sandwiches. Serve immediately.
CHICKEN PARM SANDWICHES
I grew up with chicken cutlets being the norm once a week. One of the first recipes I taught my nephew Blake was how to make this crispy chicken with cheese. It's one of his favorites - and auntie's, too!

Steps:
- Preheat the broiler. Place wire racks over 2 sheet pans. Cut two 12-inch sheets of plastic wrap.
- Place one sheet of plastic on a clean cutting board. Put one chicken piece in the center of the plastic and top with the other sheet of plastic. Pound the chicken with the flat side of a meat mallet, starting in the center and working your way to the edges, until the chicken is 1/4-inch thick.
- Heat the oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
- Meanwhile, combine the panko, all but 2 of the basil leaves and Parmigiano-Reggiano in a food processor and pulse until combined. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to a small sheet pan or plate. Place the flour on a second small sheet pan or plate and season with salt and pepper. Whisk the eggs, mustard and 2 tablespoons of water together in a shallow bowl until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
- Begin by dipping one piece of chicken into the flour, then into the egg mixture, then into the breadcrumb mixture to coat completely. Set the breaded cutlet on one of the wire racks. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
- Raise the heat under the skillet to medium-high. Cook the cutlets in two batches until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to the second wire rack and sprinkle with salt.
- While the chicken is frying, prepare the sauce.
- Combine the passata, garlic and reserved 2 leaves of basil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Place the sliced rolls on a sheet pan. Broil the rolls until just toasted, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Top each fried chicken cutlet with the sauce and a few slices of mozzarella. Broil until the cheese is brown and bubbly, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Place each chicken parm cutlet onto the bottom half of a roll. (If chicken is too wide, cut lengthwise and stack the chicken so it all fits.) Top with more sauce and the top buns. Slice in half and take a crunchy bite!

CHICKEN PARMIGIANA SANDWICH
I came up with this one on the fly when I was a cook at a golf club to use as a daily special. It quickly became a customer favorite! Very simple to make and very tasty. Can also be used as a main course, without the bun, or on top of spaghetti. I also used to lightly toast the kaiser rolls in the oven for a little something extra!

CHICKEN PARMESAN HOAGIE SANDWICH
I made these for dinner last night and my husband LOVED them! In fact, my 22-month old daughter loved them, too! You can actually make a bunch of the chicken breasts ahead of time and freeze them. When ready to eat, just add the tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese and you're golden! Quick, easy, yummy chicken parm sandwiches. Perfect for Superbowl Sunday or any other time you need a great hoagy sandwich! We really liked these. Hope you do, too. :D Oh yeah, the chicken breasts I use are sliced to make them thinner and easier to cook evenly. If you have thicker breasts, you'll need to cook these longer in the oven. ENJOY!

Steps:
- Add the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, oregano, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper to a Ziplock bag and shake to mix well.
- Pour into a low flat bowl or onto some waxed paper.
- Drop each chicken breast into the beaten egg and dredge in the breadcrumb, Parmesan cheese and herb mixture.
- Heat a few tablespoons of olive oil over medium high heat in a pan.
- Add the breaded chicken breasts, two at a time so as not to over-crowd the pan.
- Cook on medium high heat for about 3 minutes per side.
- Remove breasts to a paper towel-lined plate and fry the other two chicken breasts.
- Place the cooked chicken breasts on a baking dish and cover each breast with 1/4 cup tomato sauce.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over each one.
- Place in a 400-degree oven for 8 to 10 minutes or long enough to melt the cheese and get the tomato sauce nice and hot.
- I add the hoagie rolls to the oven when there is about 5 minutes left to get them nice and toasty and crusty.
- Slice the hoagie rolls, add the chicken Parmesan breast and top with sliced jalapenos, if desired.
- YUM!
