Total Time:35 minutes
Yield:4 servings 1x
Ingredients
Scale
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, 6-8 ounces each
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 cup marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Olive oil spray
Instructions
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness (about ½ inch). Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
In the first shallow dish, place the all-purpose flour. In the second shallow dish, whisk the eggs. In the third shallow dish, combine the Italian breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip the floured chicken into the egg wash, ensuring it's fully coated. Press the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture, making sure it's evenly coated on all sides.
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray. Place the breaded chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they don't overlap. Lightly spray the chicken breasts with olive oil spray. Air fry for 8-10 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken breasts from the air fryer. Top each chicken breast with marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese.
Return the chicken breasts to the air fryer for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Alternatively, you can place the chicken on a baking sheet and broil for a minute or two until the cheese is melted and golden brown, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Carefully remove the Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan from the air fryer. Garnish with fresh basil (optional). Serve immediately and enjoy!
