Ingredients
For the chicken
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1.5 cups flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 4 eggs
- 2.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
For the Chicken Parmesan
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese
- Fresh basil and parsley to serve
Instructions
- If your chicken breasts are very large, carefully slice them in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets. Place chicken in between two sheets of parchment paper. Flatten with a meat mallet or rolling pin.
- Place flour, salt and garlic powder into a wide bowl suitable for dipping the chicken in.
- Whisk eggs into a second bowl and combine the breadcrumbs, salt and pepper into another.
- Coat the chicken first into the flour, then in the beaten eggs and finally in the seasoned breadcrumbs.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F/205°C.
- Place the chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer then spray with olive oil.
- Air fry for 10 minutes, flipping over halfway, until the chicken is crisp and golden.
- Add a few tablespoons of marinara sauce to each piece of chicken and sprinkle over the mozzarella cheese.
- Air fry for another 5 minutes until the cheese has melted then remove from the air fryer.
- Scatter over the fresh parsley and basil then serve.
