INSTRUCTIONS
-
Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise to make 4 thin chicken cutlets. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
-
Prepare the breading station: flour in one shallow dish, melt butter in a bowl and breadcrumbs with Parmesan cheese in another dish.
-
Dip each chicken piece in flour, then butter, then breadcrumbs.
-
Place on air fryer rack or basket. Top with extra Parmesan, if desired.
-
Mix crushed tomatoes with Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Set aside.
-
Preheat air fryer to 360 degrees F for 4 minutes.

Cook chicken in air fryer for 7 minutes. Flip each piece, top with crushed tomatoes and mozzarella and cook for 4 minutes more OR until the chicken’s internal temperature is at least 165 degrees F.

Serve.
NOTES
- If possible, buy Parmesan cheese in blocks (or triangles) and shred at home. It’s the best! Pre-shredded cheese is always coated with starch to prevent clumping. I do not recommend the grated Parmesan in a green bottle.
