01
Step 1
Start by slicing each chicken breast in half to make four cutlets. Place each cutlet between two pieces of plastic wrap and gently pound them until they’re about half an inch thick. Then, let the chicken marinate in Italian dressing overnight in the fridge for extra flavor. Before cooking, take the chicken out and let it come to room temperature for about an hour.

Step 2
Set up three bowls: one with flour mixed with baking powder, another with milk and beaten egg, and a third filled with bread crumbs. Meanwhile, heat a tablespoon of butter in a pan over medium heat and cook the prosciutto until it’s nicely browned, about five minutes. Once done, drain it on a paper towel.

Step 3
Preheat your oven to 450°F and get oil heated up to 375°F in a deep fryer or a heavy pot. Lay out the chicken cutlets and place a quarter of the mozzarella and prosciutto on each one. Fold the cutlets over to enclose the filling and secure the edges with toothpicks. Then, dip each rolled cutlet first in the flour, then the egg mixture, and finally coat it with bread crumbs.

Step 4
Fry the chicken in the hot oil until golden and cooked through, about 6 to 7 minutes. When they’re done, drain them on paper towels. Slice your sub rolls and spread some butter on the insides. Layer the bottom half with a chicken cutlet, spoon on some warm marinara sauce, then add provolone and Parmesan cheese before topping with the other half of the roll.

Step 5
Pop the assembled subs in the oven just long enough for the bread to get crispy and the cheese to melt, about two minutes. Serve these warm and enjoy!
