Sure! Here’s a simple recipe for Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan:
Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch. This will help them cook evenly.
- Dip each chicken breast into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the breadcrumbs to the chicken. Make sure both sides are well coated.
- Place the breaded chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 8 minutes.
- Flip the chicken breasts over and cook for an additional 7-8 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy and golden brown.
- Remove the chicken from the air fryer and spoon marinara sauce over each breast. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Place the chicken back in the air fryer for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
- Carefully remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired.
- Serve the Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan with your favorite pasta or a side of vegetables. Enjoy!
Note: Cooking times may vary depending on the size and thickness of your chicken breasts, so always check for doneness before serving
