Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken:
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs (seasoned)
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Olive oil spray
For the Topping:
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
For Seasoning:
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
Instructions
- 1. Preheat Your Air Fryer: Preheat to 380°F (190°C).
- 2. Prepare the Chicken: Pat dry the chicken breasts with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- 3. Dredge the Chicken: Set up a dredging station with beaten eggs in one bowl and a mixture of breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese in another. Dip each seasoned chicken breast into the egg wash, letting excess drip off before coating it in the breadcrumb mixture.
- 4. Spray and Cook: Lightly spray both sides of the breaded chicken with olive oil spray. Place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for about 10 minutes until golden brown.
- 5. Add Sauce and Cheese: Carefully flip each chicken piece after ten minutes. Spoon marinara sauce over each piece and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the cheese is bubbly.
- 6. Serve It Up: Transfer your Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan to serving plates. Drizzle extra marinara if desired.
