Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan - crispy chicken smothered in marinara sauce and melted mozzarella cheese. Served with spaghetti noodles on the side. This week everyone has been talking about how effing cold it was and the weather people are calling it a polar vortex. Lucky me, I live in the Midwest and record-breaking wind chills happened in Grand Forks and Fargo ND on Tuesday. Everywhere I went today, people were wishing that it was Spring. I was stuck inside the first couple days this week hibernating and today I finally ventured out to purchase some things that helped me think of Spring. Like for instance, a Lilac candle from Bath and Body Works and some new Spring clothes to fill my closet. When it gets this cold, my bathroom turns into a spa and the bath salts and bubble bath come out. I seriously needed some comfort food and carbs on Tuesday when it was -60 below out. This air fryer chicken parmesan fits the bill. Super crispy chicken smothered in marinara sauce and topped with mozzarella cheese. I like to serve mine with some spaghetti noodles on the side. Seriously though, who can’t resist this?

How to make Parmesan Chicken in Air Fryer
Split your chicken breasts in half lengthwise, like you would when you are butterflying a chicken breast. Take a shallow dish and crack the eggs into that and whisk them until they look like you are ready to make scrambled eggs. Take another shallow dish and add the panko bread crumbs, parmesan, and seasoning. Stir to combine Dip the chicken in the eggs first, and then transfer them over to the bread crumbs. If your chicken doesn’t get coated very well pat the loose bread crumbs on top. If there is not enough breading to coat any leftover chicken, just add a little bit more to the pan. It won’t hurt yah. Place the breaded chicken into the air fryer basket and spray with cooking spray. Turn your air fryer on to 350 and set your timer for 7 minutes. After the 7 minutes is up, flip your chicken breast over and top it with the marinara sauce and cheese and place the basket back into your air fryer. I have found that most air fryers do not have a stop button during cooking process and it is ok to take the basket out while it is on.
