✨Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan✨

When dinner plans take a turn but you’re still craving something golden, cheesy, and comforting… this no-breadcrumb version saves the night. Crispy outside, juicy inside, and air-fried to perfection. 💋

Ingredients

• 1–1½ lbs chicken tenders (or sliced chicken breasts)

• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

• ½ cup all-purpose flour

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• ½ tsp onion powder

• ½ tsp Italian seasoning (or mix of oregano & basil)

• Salt & pepper, to taste

• 1–2 eggs, beaten with a splash of water

• 1 cup marinara sauce

• Shredded mozzarella or provolone

• Olive oil spray

Instructions

1️⃣ In a bowl, mix Parmesan, flour, garlic & onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

2️⃣ Pat chicken dry. Dip each piece in the beaten egg, then coat fully in the Parmesan-flour mixture.

3️⃣ Lightly spritz both sides with olive oil spray.

4️⃣ Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through.

5️⃣ Spoon marinara sauce over each piece and top with shredded mozzarella.

6️⃣ Air fry another 2–3 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.

📝 Note

💡 For extra crunch, mix in a spoonful of crushed pork rinds or almond flour.

💡 Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket — space means crisp edges!

💡 Serve with pasta, garlic bread, or a quick salad for a cozy dinner in.

Enjoy, love! 🩵
