Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees. Cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally, pounding them to even thickness as needed then set them aside.
In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, 6 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. In a second bowl, whisk the eggs.
- Dip each piece of chicken in the egg, and let the excess egg drip off the chicken. Press the chicken pieces into the breadcrumb mixture, coating them evenly.
- Place the chicken in a single layer in the air fryer. Spray the tops of the chicken with an oil sprayer.
- Air fry them for 8-11 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, until the chicken is golden and mostly cooked through.
Carefully spread 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce over each breast, then sprinkle with mozzarella and the remaining 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese. Continue cooking them for 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the chicken is cooked through to 165 degrees F.
