Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan is so delicious! I’ve been making it every week – and my dinner is ready in under 20 minutes! I’ve been so excited to share this with you – especially my jazzed up version with a little alfredo sauce too!

Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan

I love this dish because there’s very little oil since you’re air frying the chicken and that means you get to load up on more cheese!!!! The chicken is also super juicy – it’s so good!

How to make Chicken Parmesan in the air fryer?

For the actual chicken part of Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan – it’s very simple! Here’s how you make it:

Step 1: Lay down a sheet of parchment paper and put the chicken breast on top. Fold the parchment over top and then using the flat side of a meat tenderizer – lightly pound it to an even thickness.

Step 2: Set up your breading trays: Tray 1 – flour, Tray 2 – beaten eggs, Tray 3 – Italian Breadcrumbs/Parmesan Cheese/Salt.

Step 3: Dip chicken in each tray, coating all sides thoroughly and place in your air fryer

Step 4: Spritz with olive oil and Air Fry at 350 for 8 minutes

Step 5: Turn chicken, top with marinara and fresh mozzarella. Spritz again with olive oil and air fry an additional 6 minutes.

While the chicken is in the air fryer – get your pasta cooking and make a quick alfredo sauce. I’ve got all the instructions below. I love the combination of alfredo and marinara!

Can Chicken Parmesan be frozen?

Sure! I think it’s such a quick dish to make – I don’t typically but here’s a couple tips if you choose to freeze it:

  • You could make the chicken ahead of time – without the marinara and cheese topping – then put all the component together and freeze them (spaghetti, topped with chicken, marinara and cheese) – then when you’re ready to eat – bake it as a casserole dish.
  • I wouldn’t freeze the alfredo – just leave that out if you’re going to freeze for later. Dairy doesn’t thaw and reheat well.

    Haven’t tried any of your recipes yet but cannot wait. I think you are going to be my go to place for delicious meals. We lost our Carlos O’Kelly’s, then they closed the one in Topeka Ks. I haven’t looked close but did you ever try the diablo sauce? One of my favorites. Also I saw your air fryer recipes. Your site is amazing.

I've found a new fav restaurant! Have you been to Phoenician Taverna in Mason? It's Lebanese food and soooo good! They had something that was just whipped garlic - I could bathe in it! This is the Mezza platter - with little bits and bites of everything! The Labneh and the little empanada thing were my fav - omg - so much yum!!!! ⁣

This is by far the BEST Weight Watchers cabbage soup you’ll ever have! It’s so much more – filled with every vegetable I could think of and I added ground turkey. Two cups of this hearty soup is only 0/1 POINT! (If you’re not on WW – it means it’s super healthy!!!) I’ve been astounded at how much I enjoyed all of these leftovers!⁣
