Ingredients

  • 2 Chicken Breasts, sliced in half lengthwise (medium size)
  • ¾ teaspoon Kosher Salt, divided
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
  • cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 large Egg
  • cups Panko Breadcrumbs
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ cup Grated Parmesan

For the topping

  • cups Marinara Sauce (store bought or homemade) plus more if serving with pasta
  • ½ cup Shredded Mozzarella
  • ½ cup Grated Parmesan

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and the Italian seasoning. Set aside.

  2. Preheat the air fryer to 375° F for 5 minutes. Grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray or place a parchment paper in it. Prep the chicken while air fryer is heating up.

  3. You will need 3 shallow bowls. In one bowl, add the flour. In another bowl, add the egg and whisk it. In a third bowl, add the Panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and parmesan with ¼ teaspoon of the salt to season (mix).

  4. Start by placing the chicken in the flour. Coat each side well. Gently shake off excess.

  5. Next dip into the egg, and lastly in the Panko breadcrumbs mixture.

  6. Place in the preheated air fryer basket (I like drizzle a bit of olive oil on the chicken before placing it in the air fryer but you can skip this part). Depending on the size of your basket you will cook in either 1 or 2 batches.

  7. Cook at 375° F for 5 minutes, then flip and cook the chicken on the other side for another 5 minutes.

  8. Don’t remove the chicken yet. Top with marinara sauce, mozzarella and parmesan. Air fry for 4 minutes until the cheese melted.

  9. Remove and serve immediately with your favorite pasta and extra marinara.
