Ingredients
- 1 pound of chicken breast cutlets (very thin chicken breast, 1/2 inch thick)
- salt+ pepper
- 1 C Whole Wheat Flour
- 1 C panko
- 2 C breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp parsley
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 C parmaesan Cheese + 1/4 Parmaesan cheese; divided
- 2 eggs + 2 tbsp milk
- 1 jar of your favorite marinara
- 6- 8 thick slices of mozzarella cheese (from the deli counter is best)
- handful of fresh basil, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 375 degrees (or oven to 425 degrees.)
- In a plastic bag add whole wheat flour.
- In a bowl, add the 2 eggs and milk; whisk till combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine panko, bread crumbs, 1/2 C Parmesan cheese, and seasonings.
- Lightly season the chicken cutlets with the salt and pepper.
- Dredge through the flour, then the eggs and milk, followed by the breadcrumbs mixture.
- Repeat till all chicken is coated.
- Spray with olive oil and place in the air fryer. Make sure not to crowd the basket. Cook for 4 minutes each side or until golden brown. Cook all the chicken and place on a cookie sheet with a wire rack. (if preparing on oven, cook for about 6-8 min each side or until cooked throughout.)
- Top with marinara sauce, a sprinkle of reserved parmesan, and a slice of thick mozzarella cheese. Cook for 7 minutes or until cheese begins to melt.
- Broil for 4 minutes so the cheese is browning and bubbly.
- Enjoy!
