Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Add the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, oregano, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper to a zip-top bag and shake to mix well. Pour into a low flat bowl or onto some waxed paper.
3. Whisk eggs in a bowl and set aside. Drop each chicken breast into the beaten egg and then dredge in the breadcrumb, Parmesan cheese, and herb mixture.
4. 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 3-4 minutes per side or until cooked through and no longer pink. Remove breasts to a paper towel-lined plate and fry the other two chicken breasts.
5. 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.
6. Place in preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the tomato sauce is hot. Toast rolls during the last 5 minutes of the cooking.
7. Slice rolls, add the chicken Parmesan breast on top and enjoy!
