Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 tbsp olive oil spray
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Pat chicken breasts dry and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Set up an assembly line: one bowl with seasoned flour, another with beaten eggs, and a third with panko and Parmesan mixture. Dredge each breast in flour, dip in eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs.
  3. Place chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer and lightly spray with olive oil. Air fry for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Remove chicken, top with marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella, then return to the air fryer for an additional 3-5 minutes until cheese is bubbly.
  5. Let rest for a few minutes before serving with fresh herbs if desired.

Nutrition

Keywords: For added crunch, spray the chicken lightly with olive oil before frying. Feel free to customize with your favorite herbs or spices. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days; reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for about five minutes.
