Step 1
Start the fries according to package directions in a separate oven or air fryer.
Step 2
Pound each chicken breast to 1/4-inch thickness between plastic wrap with a meat mallet.
Step 3
Mix panko with salt and pepper on a shallow plate. Coat both sides of chicken, pressing gently.
Step 4
Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 60 seconds.
Step 5
Sear chicken 3–4 minutes per side without moving. Edges should turn golden and meat should feel firm.
Step 6
Top each cutlet with 3 tablespoons marinara and 2 oz mozzarella. Cover and cook 2 minutes until cheese melts.
Step 7
Toast ciabatta rolls cut-side down in the same skillet 1 minute until lightly golden.
Step 8
Build sandwiches: place chicken on roll bottoms, close with tops. Serve with fries and marinara for dipping.
