🧾 Ingredients

  • 150ml tomato pasta sauce
  • 1 garlic clove (minced)
  • 1 tsp Italian herbs
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Oil spray

👩‍🍳 How to Cook Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan

Step 1: Slice each chicken breast horizontally or flatten slightly with a rolling pin so the chicken cooks evenly and stays juicy.

Step 2: Season both sides with salt and black pepper.


Step 3: Prepare three bowls. Add flour to the first bowl, beaten egg to the second bowl, and breadcrumbs mixed with Italian herbs to the third bowl.

Step 4: Dip each chicken piece into the flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. Press gently so the coating sticks well.


Step 5: Lightly spray the coated chicken with oil for a crispier finish.

Step 6: Place chicken into the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 200°C for 10 minutes, turning halfway.


Step 7: Spoon tomato sauce over the crispy chicken and top generously with mozzarella.

Step 8: Return to the air fryer for 3 to 4 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles.


Step 9: Serve immediately with pasta, chips, salad, or garlic bread.

🔥 Tips for Best Results

  • Flatten chicken evenly for faster cooking
  • Use panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch
  • Spray oil lightly for golden colour
  • Do not overcrowd basket
  • Check chicken reaches 75°C internal temperature
