Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan
Description
Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan features chicken cutlets that are pounded to an even thickness, ensuring uniform cooking. The breading combines seasoned bread crumbs, panko, Parmesan cheese, and spices, which adhere after dipping the cutlets in an egg and milk wash. Cooking in the air fryer at 400°F crisps the coating and cooks the chicken through to a safe 165°F. Adding marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese on top before returning briefly to the air fryer melts the cheese slightly, creating a classic topping.
The result is a crispy exterior with a moist and tender chicken center. The cheese adds a creamy texture and mild tang while the marinara sauce provides a tomato-based layer of flavor. This dish pairs well with pasta or fresh greens for a balanced meal. Using an air fryer reduces oil use and cooking time compared to traditional methods.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken cutlet
- 3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
- 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 large egg
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Pound out your cutlets if the cutlets are not of similar size and thickness. This will help them cook up evenly.
- On a plate mix together the bread crumbs, panko, kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- In a small bowl whisk together the eggs and milk.
- Working with one piece of chicken at a time, coat the chicken in the egg and milk mixture. Once evenly covered, transfer onto your breadcrumb plate.
- Press the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture coating both sides evenly.
- Add to a clean plate and set the prepared chicken aside.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F.
- Once preheated, add your prepared chicken cutlets to the air fryer. If your chicken cannot fit in one layer you'll have to work in batches.
- Cook at 400 degrees F for 6 minutes per side or until it reaches 165 degrees F.
- Remove from the air fryer, and top each cutlet with an equal amount of marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese.
- Add back to the air fryer and air fry at 400 degrees F for 1-2 minutes to just melt the cheese.
- Sprinkle with fresh minced basil if desired.
