Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan Recipe
Description
The chicken breasts are sliced in half lengthwise and pounded to an even thinness to ensure quick, even cooking in the air fryer. They are dipped in beaten egg and coated with a mixture of Italian breadcrumbs and shredded Parmesan cheese. Cooking at 360 degrees Fahrenheit crisps the breading in 6 minutes, after which the chicken is flipped, topped with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese, and cooked a few more minutes until the cheese melts and the chicken is cooked through to a safe internal temperature.
The air fryer produces a crisp, golden crust without deep frying, delivering a tender, juicy chicken center. The Parmesan adds savory depth, and the melted mozzarella with marinara provides a classic cheesy tomato topping reminiscent of traditional chicken Parmesan.
This dish can be served alone or with pasta, salad, or bread for a well-rounded meal. Cooking in batches allows maintaining crispness and freshness for each piece.
