Step 1

Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C).

Step 2

Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.

Step 3

Prepare the breading station by mixing breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in one dish, and drizzle olive oil over the chicken in another dish.

Step 4

Coat each chicken breast in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 5

Place the breaded chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Step 6

Remove the chicken and spoon marinara sauce over each piece, then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.

Step 7

Return the chicken to the air fryer and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 8

Let the chicken rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
