Ingredients

For the chicken

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1.5 cups flour
1 tsp salt
0.5 tsp garlic powder
4 eggs
2.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
1 tsp salt
0.5 tsp black pepper

For the Chicken Parmesan

2 cups marinara sauce
2 cups mozzarella cheese
fresh basil and parsley to serve

Instructions

If your chicken breasts are very large, carefully slice them in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets. Place chicken in between two sheets of parchment paper. Flatten with a meat mallet or rolling pin.
Place flour, salt and garlic powder into a wide bowl suitable for dipping the chicken in.
Whisk eggs into a second bowl and combine the breadcrumbs, salt and pepper into another.
Coat the chicken first into the flour, then in the beaten eggs and finally in the seasoned breadcrumbs.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F/205°C.
Place the chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer then spray with olive oil.
Air fry for 10 minutes, flipping over halfway, until the chicken is crisp and golden.
Add a few tablespoons of marinara sauce to each piece of chicken and sprinkle over the mozzarella cheese.
Air fry for another 5 minutes until the cheese has melted then remove from the air fryer.
Scatter over the fresh parsley and basil then serve.
