Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken breast boneless skinless
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ - ¾ cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese diced or shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
- ½ teaspoon dry oregano or fresh basil chopped
Instructions
- Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise into thin fillets approximately ½ -⅓ inch
- In a shallow bowl, add the eggs and salt and whisk together.
- Place the breadcrumbs in a separate shallow bowl.
- Dredge each chicken piece in the egg mixture, coating both sides and then place it with breadcrumbs and coat both side again. I like to press the coating onto the chicken well so it's nice and crispy. Place the coated chicken on a plate, set aside and repeat with remaining pieces.
- Preheat your air fryer to 360° F.
- Place 2 pieces of chicken in the air fryer basket allowing room between them to get crisp.
- Spray or drizzle with olive oil and cook for 6 minutes.
- Flip the chicken over and add 1 to 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce and sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan cheese on top of each piece.
- Cook for an additional 3 minutes until the cheese melts.
- Sprinkle with dry oregano or fresh basil
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Use homemade marinara sauce or your favorite jarred spaghetti sauce.
- Use chicken tenders if desired.
