Air Fryer Panko Breaded Chicken Parmesan with Marinara Sauce

Step 1

Spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil.

Step 2

Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create 4 thinner chicken breasts. Place the chicken breasts on a hard surface and pound them to completely flatten.

Step 3

Combine the panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, and Italian Seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste in a bowl large enough to dip the chicken breasts. Stir to combine.

Step 4

Place the egg in a bowl large enough to dip the chicken.

Step 5

Dip the chicken in the egg and then the breadcrumbs mixture.

Step 6

Place in the chicken breasts in the air fryer. Spray the top of the chicken with cooking oil.

Step 7

Cook for 7 minutes on 370 degrees.

Step 8

Open the air fryer. Top each of the breasts with marinara sauce and then the shredded mozzarella.

Step 9

Cook for an additional 3 minutes or until cheese has melted. Every air fryer brand will cook at varying speeds. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
