Hot Italian Chicken Sandwiches

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic and black pepper in a small, shallow bowl.

Dip chicken in melted butter, then dredge in bread crumb mixture.

Place chicken on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.

Pour the remaining butter over the chicken.

Bake for 20 minutes or until chicken has an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.

Top chicken with spaghetti sauce and bake an additional 5 minutes.

While chicken is cooking, heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Saute red pepper, green pepper and red onion until tender. Stir in a few slices of hot banana pepper, if you desire.

Place 3 cutlets on the bottom half of each baguette. Top with shredded lettuce, sliced tomato and the hot pepper and onion mixture. Lay three slices of cheese on top. Top with the other half of the baguette and slice each sandwich into thirds.
