To make this delicious sandwich, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
- 2 slices of crusty bread
- 1/4 cup marinara sauce

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. Pound the chicken breast to an even thickness, then season with salt and pepper. In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In another shallow dish, beat the egg. In a third shallow dish, place the breadcrumbs.
Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Dip the chicken in the beaten egg, then coat in the breadcrumbs. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
To assemble the sandwich, spread marinara sauce on one slice of bread and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese. Place the cooked chicken on top, then add another layer of marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese. Top with the other slice of bread.
Place the sandwich on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve hot and enjoy the crispy, cheesy goodness of this Parmesan-Crusted Chicken Parmesan Panini.
