Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (sliced into 4 even cutlets)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Fresh parsley or basil for garnish
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create four thinner cutlets. Place them between sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even 1/2-inch thickness. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and black pepper.
- Prepare three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the flour. In the second bowl, whisk the eggs. In the third bowl, combine the Panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
- Dredge each chicken cutlet in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, then press it firmly into the Panko mixture until fully coated on all sides.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil. Place the chicken cutlets in a single layer in the basket. Spray the tops of the chicken with a little more olive oil. Cook for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Once the chicken is golden and cooked through, spoon about 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce over each cutlet. Top with a generous amount of shredded mozzarella. Air fry for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Carefully remove the chicken from the air fryer. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil before serving warm.
