Air-Fryer Chicken Parmesan

Air-Fryer Chicken Parmesan

Wow! Simple, easy-to-make chicken parm that’s a healthier version of the classic. Instead of deep frying in oil, our chicken parmesan is made with an air fryer to give it a delicious crispy texture. To finish the dish, just top with sweet homemade marinara made with Splenda Zero Calorie Sweetener and melt fresh marinara on top. It’s amazing!

Instructions

  1. To make the marinara sauce, spray a large saucepan with nonstick cooking spray. Sauté onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté 1 more minute, constantly stirring. Add salt and oregano, stirring until fragrant. Pour in crushed tomatoes and Splenda Sweetener and stir. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in basil.
  2. Beat eggs in a shallow bowl. Mix together bread crumbs and parmesan cheese and pour onto a pan.
  3. Take each chicken breast cutlet and dip it into the beaten eggs, shaking off excess egg, and then dip into the bread crumb mixture, coating it well.
  4. Preheat air fryer to 375°F and coat the basket of the air fryer with nonstick cooking spray. Place coated chicken breast cutlets onto the wire rack of the air fryer in a single layer. (You will need to cook the chicken in two batches to keep it in a single layer.) Cook for 5 minutes, then flip chicken and cook for 5 minutes more.
  5. Top each chicken breast cutlet with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese. Cook for 2-3 more minutes, until cheese is melted and chicken is cooked through.
  6. Remove and repeat for the rest of the chicken. Serve any extra marinara sauce on the side. Enjoy!
