- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
- Prepare the breading station by mixing breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in one dish, and drizzle olive oil over the chicken in another dish.
- Coat each chicken breast in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Place the breaded chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Remove the chicken and spoon marinara sauce over each piece, then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
- Return the chicken to the air fryer and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the chicken rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Notes
- Season generously with salt and pepper for enhanced flavor.
- Use fresh breadcrumbs for better texture and flavor.
- Let the chicken rest after cooking for juicier results.
- Experiment with different cheeses for unique flavors.
- Check for doneness with a meat thermometer, aiming for 165°F (74°C).
- Consider meal prepping extra chicken for quick meals throughout the week.
