Instructions
1 Prep the chicken: Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to create 4 cutlets. Pat dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. 2 Set up breading station: In one bowl, beat the egg. In another, mix breadcrumbs, parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. 3 Bread the chicken: Dip each piece into the egg, then press into the breadcrumb mixture to fully coat. 4 Air fry: Spray air fryer basket with olive oil. Place chicken in a single layer and spray the tops with olive oil. 5 Air fry at 375°F for 8 minutes, flip, and air fry for another 4–6 minutes until golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F). 6 Add sauce + cheese: Spoon 2 tbsp marinara on each piece and top with mozzarella. 7 Return to air fryer for 1–2 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. 9 I also like to add the sauce into a small pan, top with mozzarella and place in the oven till cheese is browned and bubbly. I will then pour the sauce right over the chicken. 8 Serve with fresh basil, over pasta, zucchini noodles, or a Caesar side salad (check out my high protein caesar dressing above).View original recipe
