Chicken Parmesan (AF)

Ingredients

• 16 ounce skinless chicken breasts sliced in half to make 4 breasts
• 1 cup panko bread crumbs
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated
• 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
• 1 egg, beaten
• 3/4 cup marinara sauce
• 2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

salt and pepper to taste

olive oil

Directions

Spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil.

1. Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create 4 thinner chicken breasts. Place the chicken breasts on a hard surface and pound them to completely flatten.
2. Combine the panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, and Italian Seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste in a bowl large enough to dip the chicken breasts. Stir to combine.
3. Place the egg in a bowl large enough to dip the chicken.
4. Dip the chicken in the egg and then the breadcrumbs mixture.
5. Place in the chicken breasts in the air fryer. Spray the top of the chicken with cooking oil.
6. Cook for 7 minutes on 370 degrees.
7. Open the air fryer. Top each of the breasts with marinara sauce and then the shredded mozzarella.
8. Cook for an additional 3 minutes or until cheese has melted. Every air fryer brand will cook at varying speeds. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
