How To Make Air Fried Chicken Parmesan With Garlic White Wine Butter Sauce

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.

Cut chicken breasts thin or pound them to desired thickness.

Prepare about 3 beaten eggs in a bowl.

In another bowl, mix panko bread crumbs with romano cheese and a little parmesan cheese, adding salt to the mixture.

Season the chicken breasts with Chef Q's chicken rub.

Dip the seasoned chicken into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated.

Press the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides thoroughly; repeat if necessary.

Preheat the air fryer and set the timer for about 20 minutes.

Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil, avoiding the handle.

Place the chicken breasts in the back of the air fryer basket.

Flip the chicken halfway through cooking for even browning.

While the chicken cooks, prepare the garlic white wine butter sauce by heating a pan on medium heat and adding about half a cup of white wine, bringing it to a light simmer.

Add butter to the simmering wine and let it melt down, then add garlic and reduce until the sauce thickens slightly or remains thin.

After 20 minutes, check the chicken; it should be golden brown, tender, and juicy.

Take the cooked chicken and place it on a plate, topping it with homemade tomato sauce or your favorite marinara sauce.

Slice fresh mozzarella and place it on top of the chicken.

Broil the chicken until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Toss thin spaghetti in the garlic white wine butter sauce and serve the chicken on top of the pasta.

Optionally, add more sauce, cheese, and Italian seasoning before serving.
