Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
- 1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs (or panko for extra crunch)
- 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce
- Olive oil spray
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper.
- Set up a breading station with one bowl of flour, one bowl of beaten eggs, and another bowl combining breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning.
- Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip into beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture.
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray each breaded chicken breast with olive oil spray and place them in the air fryer basket.
- Cook at 400°F (200°C) for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, flipping halfway for even crispiness.
- Remove from air fryer; top each piece with marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese. Return to the air fryer for an additional 3-5 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
