Get ready to indulge in the crispiest, cheesiest, and most epic chicken Parmesan of your life!

Today, we’re diving into the world of Italian-American classics, and trust me, you won’t want to miss this!. No more boring, bland chicken breasts!

Imagine sinking your teeth into a juicy chicken breast, smothered in marinara sauce and melted mozzarella cheese, all wrapped up in a crispy, golden-brown package. Sounds like a dream come true, right?

Well, dream no more, because we’re about to make that a reality with this easy-peasy air fryer chicken Parmesan recipe!

First things first, let’s get our ingredients ready. We’ll need some boneless, skinless chicken breasts, kosher salt, black pepper, all-purpose flour, eggs, panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, crushed red pepper, garlic powder, marinara sauce, and mozzarella cheese.

Now, let’s get our chicken ready for its close-up. Butterfly those breasts by cutting them in half widthwise, and season both sides with some salt and pepper.

Next, let’s get our breading station set up. In three separate shallow dishes, place your flour, eggs, and panko breadcrumbs. Add some Parmesan cheese, olive oil, crushed red pepper, and garlic powder to the panko breadcrumbs, and stir to coat.

Now, it’s time to bread our chicken. Dredge each piece in flour, shaking off any excess, then dip it in the eggs, letting any excess drip off. Finally, coat it in the panko mixture, and place it on a plate.

Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 2 minutes. Working in two batches, add 2 chicken cutlets to the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook until the chicken is golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side.

Now, it’s time to add the sauce and cheese. Top each chicken piece with 1/4 cup marinara and 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese.

Snugly fit all 4 breasts in a single layer in the air fryer basket, and cook at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) until the cheese is melted and browned, and a thermometer inserted into the thickest portion of the chicken registers 165 degrees F (73 degrees C), 2 to 3 minutes.

And that’s it! Your air fryer chicken Parmesan is ready to devour. Serve it hot, garnished with some extra Parmesan cheese and a side of pasta or garlic bread.

So, what are you waiting for? Get cooking, and indulge in this crispy, cheesy, saucy goodness!
