Ingredients

Scale

Chicken:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 8 ounces each)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Breading:

  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Assembly:

  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce
  • 6 tbsp reduced-fat mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Season the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. Prepare the Breading Station: Set up three shallow bowls – one with seasoned flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
  4. Bread the Chicken: Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in the egg wash, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  5. Air Fry: Arrange the breaded chicken breasts in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Warm the Marinara: While the chicken cooks, warm up the marinara sauce.
  7. Top and Melt: Once the chicken is cooked, top each breast with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese. Return to the air fryer and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
  8. Serve: Serve the Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan immediately with pasta, vegetables, or dipping sauce.
