2 (8- to 10-oz.) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in half lengthwise
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/2 cup (about 2 1/8 oz.) all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup panko (Japanese-style breadcrumbs)
2 oz.s Parmesan cheese, grated (about 1/2 cup)
2 tsp.s Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper
1 1/2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 cup marinara sauce
2 oz.s low-moisture whole-milk mozzarella cheese, shredded (about 1/2 cup)
Directions
Step 1
Sprinkle chicken evenly with salt and pepper. Place flour and eggs in 2 separate shallow dishes. Stir together panko, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper in a third shallow dish. Drizzle panko mixture with oil, and toss to coat.
Step 2
Working with 1 piece at a time, dip chicken in flour; shake off excess. Dip into eggs; let excess drip off. Dredge in panko mixture to fully coat. Place on a baking sheet. Repeat process with remaining chicken pieces.
Step 3
Preheat an air fryer to 370°F for 5 minutes. Place 2 prepared chicken pieces in fry basket spaced at least 1/2 inch apart. Cook until lightly browned, about 7 minutes. Spoon 3 tablespoons marinara onto each chicken piece; sprinkle each piece with 2 tablespoons cheese. Continue cooking at 370°F until cheese is melted and lightly browned and a thermometer inserted into thickest portion of chicken registers 165°F, about 3 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate; tent loosely with aluminum foil.
