Ingredients

Chicken
2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
Salt & pepper
Breading
1/2 cup flour
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1 tsp garlic powder
Topping
1/2 cup marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella
Fresh basil leaves
Serving
Spaghetti or crusty bread

Equipment

  • Instant-Read Meat Thermometer
  • Oil Sprayer Mister
  • Air Fryer Parchment Liners

Steps

  1. 1

    Halve each chicken breast horizontally and pound to 1/2-inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Dredge in flour, dip in egg, then press into breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture on all sides.

  3. 3

    Spray generously with oil. Air fry at 400°F for 8 minutes. Flip, spray again, cook 5 more minutes until golden.

  4. 4

    Spoon marinara over each cutlet, top with mozzarella. Cook 2-3 more minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.

  5. 5

    Garnish with fresh basil. Serve over spaghetti or with crusty bread.

💡

Tip: Add the marinara and cheese in the last few minutes only — too early and the crispy coating gets soggy underneath. Use a meat thermometer to confirm 165°F.
