Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan
A healthier twist on classic chicken parmesan, crispy on the outside and topped with melted cheese, all made effortlessly in an air fryer!
Equipment
- Air Fryer
- Shallow dishes
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 4 cutlets chicken
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs lightly beaten
- ⅓ cup Italian breadcrumbs
- ⅓ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ⅓ cup grated parmesan cheese
- ½ cup spaghetti sauce
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Prepare three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of Italian breadcrumbs, panko, and parmesan.
- Season chicken cutlets with salt and pepper. Dip each cutlet in flour, then in eggs, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Preheat air fryer to 350ºF. Place two coated cutlets in the basket and spray lightly with cooking spray. Cook for 6 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Spread 2 tablespoons of spaghetti sauce on each cutlet. Top with half of the shredded mozzarella. Increase temperature to 400ºF and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until cheese is melted and browned.
- Repeat with remaining cutlets, monitoring closely to avoid overcooking. Let rest for a minute before serving.
