Equipment

  • 1 Air Fryer
  • 1 cooling rack
  • 1 meat tenderizer

Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts butterfly cut in half to create two equal width pieces
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tsp TNP poultry seasoning or italian seasoning
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • marinara sauce
  • grated mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  • Slice chicken breast in half (butterfly style) to make two equal width pieces of chicken breast. Use the flat side of a meat tenderizer to hammer down any thick parts.
  • In a large bowl, crack both effs and whisk. In a secondary bowl combine breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese and seasonings.
  • Pass the chicken breast through the egg wash first, then coat in the panko and parmesan mixture. Place your coated chicken breast aside on a cooling rack.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees (F) and set timer to 10 minutes.
  • Once your air fryer is preheated, place your breaded chicken breast inside the air frying basket and close to begin cooking process.
  • Half way through (at the five minute mark), flip your chicken breast over. Carefully coat top of chicken breast with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese. Close air fryer and continue cooking for remaining 5 minutes.
  • While you wait for your chicken parmesan to finish cooking, pour some warmed marinara sauce on a large serving dish. Then place your finished chicken parmesan on top of the marinara.
