Preparing the Chicken

  2. Generously season both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Arrange three bowls: one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
  4. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip into the eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs.
  5. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  6. Carefully add the breaded chicken and fry for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown.
  7. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Assembling the Sandwich
  1. Warm the vodka sauce over low heat, stirring occasionally.
  2. Lightly toast slices of bread in the same skillet if desired.
  3. Layer each slice with fried chicken and a generous spoonful of vodka sauce.
  4. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
  5. Cover the pan briefly to allow the heat to melt the cheese.
  6. Optionally include fresh basil leaves on top and finish with another slice of bread.
  7. Cut in half for easy handling and enjoy!
