Instructions
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.
Transfer the cutlets to a plate, stack on top of each other, and place inside a bun.
Repeat with the remaining chicken cutlets, marinara, smoked mozzarella, and bun.
Serve the sandwiches warm.
