ingredients
2 large chicken breasts, sliced in half thickness wise, then pounded out thin
½ cup italian style breadcrumbs
¼ cup all purpose flour, seasoned with salt and pepper
1 egg, beaten and seasoned with salt and pepper
8 slices fresh mozzarella cheese
1 cup rao’s marinara
Or your sauce of choice.
2 tablespoons grated parmesan
basil or parsley for garnish
directions
Step 1:
Preheat your air fryer and oven to 400°F. We’re going to cook & crisp up the chicken in the air fryer, then transfer it to a baking dish and finish it off in the oven to heat the sauce through and get that cheese all melty!
Step 2:
Prepare the chicken by slicing it in half thickness wise to make 4 pieces. Place each piece of the chicken breast onto plastic wrap. Cover with another piece of plastic wrap and using a mallet or rolling pin, flatten the chicken breasts until they are even in thickness.
Step 3:
Next, make a breading station with 3 shallow dishes: one shallow dish with the seasoned flour, the second with the seasoned beaten egg and the third with the seasoned breadcrumbs.
Step 4:
Take a chicken breast piece one by one and dip them in each shallow dish in that order (flour, egg, breadcrumbs) shaking off the excess of flour and egg and then making sure to fully coat with the breadcrumbs.
Step 5:
Once your air fryer is ready, spray the basket with pan spray and add the chicken breast pieces. Give them a spray of pan spray on top too - this will help them crisp up and turn golden. Cook on 400°F for 6 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
Step 6:
When the chicken is done, transfer them to a baking dish and top each piece with a ¼ cup of sauce, 2 medallions of mozzarella, and sprinkle the parmesan over the top.
Step 7:
Place into your preheated oven for about 5 - 10 minutes until the cheese is nice and melty.
Step 8:
Top with basil or parsley, serve and enjoy!
