Preparation Steps
  1. Begin by flattening the boneless, skinless chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1 inch.
  2. Generously sprinkle salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning on both sides of the chicken breasts.
  3. Prepare three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
  4. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and coat in breadcrumbs.
  5. Preheat oil over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking.
  6. Gently place the breaded chicken into the hot oil, cooking for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  7. In a separate pan, warm the vodka sauce over low heat for about 5 minutes.
  8. Lightly toast your bread slices and assemble the sandwich with chicken and vodka sauce.
  9. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken and cover briefly to melt.
  10. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, place the other slice of toast on top, and serve.
