Ingrediënten
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (8 ounces each), sliced horizontally in half and separated into 4 thinner cutlets

Instructies
- Season the chicken cutlets all over with salt and pepper.
- Set up three shallow bowls: Place the flour in the first bowl, the eggs in the second, and stir together the breadcrumbs and smoked paprika in the third.
- Coat the chicken pieces in the flour, then dip fully in the egg.
- Dredge in the paprika breadcrumbs, then transfer to a wire rack set over a baking sheet and spray both sides liberally with cooking spray.
- Transfer 2 of the chicken cutlets to the air fryer and cook at 350°F until beginning to brown, about 6 minutes.
- Spread each cutlet with 2 tablespoons of the marinara sauce and sprinkle with one-quarter of the smoked mozzarella.
- Increase the heat to 400°F and cook until the chicken is cooked through and crisp and the cheese is melted and golden brown, about 5 minutes more.

- Repeat with the remaining chicken cutlets, marinara, smoked mozzarella, and bun.
- Serve the sandwiches warm.
