Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan
A classic Italian dish reimagined for the air fryer: breaded chicken breast topped with tomato sauce and melted mozzarella, served with spaghetti.
🥘 Ingredients
chicken breasts — 2 (approx. 14 oz)
flour — 1/3 cup (40g)
beaten egg — 1
Panko breadcrumbs — 1/2 cup (50g)
finely grated Parmesan — 1/4 cup (25g)
tomato sauce — 4-8 tbsp + 2 tbsp
sliced mozzarella — 4.4 oz (125g)
cooked spaghetti — 7-14 oz (200-400g)
fresh basil leaves — a few
👨🍳 Steps
1Slice chicken breasts lengthwise to get 4 fillets. Place between two sheets of parchment paper and gently pound with a kitchen mallet to even thickness.
2Prepare three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten egg, and one with Panko mixed with finely grated Parmesan.
3Coat each chicken fillet in flour, then egg, then the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture. Place fillets in the air fryer basket and cook at 180°C (350°F) for 15 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
4Spread 1-2 tablespoons of tomato sauce over each cooked fillet, then top with mozzarella slices. Return basket to air fryer and cook for another 5-10 minutes, until mozzarella is melted and bubbly.
5Serve chicken Parmesan alongside cooked spaghetti, with extra tomato sauce, a sprinkle of black pepper, and fresh basil leaves on top.
