Quick, simple and oh-so-tasty, this air-fryer chicken Parmesan recipe is the perfect weeknight dish to have on hand. It's just as crispy as the classic, if not crispier! —Taste of Home Test Kitchen

Ingredients

2 large eggs
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
1 cup pasta sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Optional: Chopped fresh basil and hot cooked pasta

Directions

Preheat air fryer to 375°. In a shallow bowl, lightly beat eggs. In another shallow bowl, combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and pepper. Dip chicken in egg, then coat with crumb mixture.
Place chicken in a single layer on greased tray in air-fryer basket. Cook until a thermometer reads 165°, 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through. Top chicken with sauce and mozzarella. Cook until cheese is melted, 3-4 minutes longer. If desired, sprinkle with chopped basil and additional Parmesan cheese and serve with pasta.

Air-Fryer Chicken Parmesan Tips

Can you put raw chicken in an air fryer?

Like in this recipe, you can cook raw chicken in an air fryer. Just remember to flip the chicken breast halfway through for even browning!

Can you put aluminum foil in an air fryer?

You can put aluminum foil in an air fryer, but we recommend avoiding it if possible. The foil can block airflow and cause uneven cooking. Only use foil if the recipe calls for it. (Find even more air-fryer recipes to love!)
