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.

Coat the chicken breasts in flour, then dip them in the beaten egg, and finally coat them with the panko breadcrumbs mixed with spices and parmesan cheese.

Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil and place the coated chicken breasts inside.

Air fry the chicken at the recommended temperature until they are crispy and cooked through.

Top the cooked chicken with homemade tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese, then return to the air fryer to melt the cheese.

Serve the chicken parmesan with a side of chopped romaine lettuce, orange segments, radish slices, cucumber, and roasted cashews.
