How to Make Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan

  1. Step 1

    Preheat air fryer to 400°F.

  2. Step 2

    In a small saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add the tomato sauce, basil and pepper. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. Step 3

    Place egg and bread crumbs in separate shallow bowls. Dip chicken breasts into egg and then dredge in bread crumbs.

  4. Step 4

    Spray each chicken breast lightly with non-stick cooking spray and arrange in the air fryer. Cook for 9 minutes, then turn chicken over and cook for an additional 7 minutes. Do not remove from air fryer.

  5. Step 5

    Carefully spread tomato sauce on top of each chicken breast and add mozzarella.

  6. Step 6

    Air fry for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
