Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan

Step 1

If you are using whole breasts cut them in half lengthwise, to make cutlets. Try to make the halves an even thickness.

Step 2

In a medium bowl combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

Step 3

In another medium bowl break the eggs and mix to combine the yolk and whites.

Step 4

Get out a baking rack to put the slices on after coating.

Step 5

Dip each piece in the egg mixture followed by the breadcrumb mixture.

Step 6

Put the pieces on the baking rack and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Step 7

Set the air fryer to 360 °F and let it preheat for 3 minutes.

Step 8

Spray or brush a little oil on the chicken to help it brown. Use a spray bottle of oil, not a commercial cooking spray. Then put the cutlets in a single layer in the basket. Don’t overcrowd the pieces in the basket and cook it in batches if necessary.

Step 9

Air fry at 360 °F for 6 minutes. Then flip each pieces over and air fry it for another 4 minutes.

Step 10

Check that the meat has reached 160 °F internal temperature. If not, air fry it for another 2-3 minutes and check again. The coating will be golden brown when it is done.

Step 11

When it has reached 165 °F keep it in the air fryer basket and carefully top each cutlet with 2 tablespoons of spaghetti sauce. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce.

Step 12

Air fry it at 360 °F for another 2 minutes to heat the sauce and melt the cheese.
