Enjoy a healthier twist on the classic Italian dish with this Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan. This Chicken Parmesan Recipe offers a crispy and flavorful meal that’s quick to prepare and perfect for any night of the week.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Chicken Breasts 2 large boneless and skinless
  • Breadcrumbs 1 cup preferably Italian seasoned
  • Parmesan Cheese 1/2 cup grated
  • Marinara Sauce 1 cup
  • Mozzarella Cheese 1 cup shredded
  • Olive Oil 2 tablespoons
  • Italian Seasoning 1 teaspoon
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Set your air fryer to 380°F and let it preheat.
  2. Even out the thickness of each chicken breast to about 1/2 inch by pounding gently.
  3. Create two stations; mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in one bowl, and drizzle olive oil over the chicken in another.
  4. Press each chicken breast into the breadcrumb mixture so it sticks well.
  5. Place the coated chicken in a single layer inside the air fryer and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, turning halfway through.
  6. Take the chicken out, spoon the marinara sauce onto each piece, and sprinkle mozzarella on top.
  7. Put the chicken back in the air fryer for another 3 to 5 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles.
  8. Let the chicken rest a few minutes before serving to lock in the juices.

Notes

  • Season generously with salt and pepper for enhanced flavor
  • Use fresh breadcrumbs for better texture and flavor
  • Let the chicken rest after cooking for juicier results
  • Experiment with different cheeses for unique flavors
  • Check for doneness with a meat thermometer aiming for 165°F 74°C
  • Consider meal prepping extra chicken for quick meals throughout the week
