Description
Deliciously Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan is a lightened-up, flavor-packed meal that combines tender chicken breasts, a crispy parmesan-breadcrumb coating, and savory marinara sauce.
Ingredients
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F.
2. In a shallow bowl, mix together the Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
3. Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil, then dredge them in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing firmly to ensure the coating adheres evenly.
4. Place the coated chicken breasts in the preheated air fryer basket, making sure they don’t touch each other. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
5. Spoon the marinara sauce over the top, then sprinkle with the shredded mozzarella cheese. Return the air fryer basket to the air fryer and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs like basil or parsley. Pairs beautifully with a side of pasta, garlic bread, or a fresh salad.
