AIR FRYER CHICKEN PARMESAN RECIPE

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast offers a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: provolone

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat while maintaining texture.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil has a high smoke point and is healthier.

bread crumbs

🥗Healthier: panko

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Panko gives a lighter texture, while crushed crackers are often cheaper.

Preheat the air fryer.

Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper.

Dredge the chicken in flour, shaking off excess.

Dip the chicken in the egg, allowing excess to drip off.

Coat the chicken with the panko breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese, basil, oregano, and garlic powder.

Place the coated chicken in the air fryer basket.

Air fry the chicken until cooked through and golden brown.

Top the chicken with tomato sauce and shredded mozzarella.

Return to the air fryer and cook until the cheese is melted.

Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
