Description
A quick and healthy take on the classic Chicken Parmesan, transformed in the air fryer for a crispy texture without the extra oil.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
- Brush each chicken breast with olive oil, then coat them thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture.
- Place the coated chicken breasts in the air fryer basket, ensuring they’re in a single layer.
- Cook for 10 minutes; then flip the chicken and cook for an additional 6-8 minutes, until it’s cooked through and crispy.
- Top each chicken breast with marinara sauce and a generous sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.
- Return the chicken to the air fryer for another 2-3 minutes, just until the cheese melts.
- Serve warm and enjoy the deliciousness!
Notes
For even cooking, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. Feel free to add herbs to the breadcrumb mixture for added flavor.
