Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 cup panko
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan
4 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)
1 1/2 tablespoons plus 1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 cups small broccoli florets (about 5 ounces)
1/4 cup low-fat plain yogurt
Finely grated zest and juice of 1/2 lemon

Steps:

  • Stir together the panko, Parmesan, 2 teaspoons of the olive oil, the oregano, pinch of salt and a couple grinds of pepper in a shallow bowl or small baking dish until thoroughly combined. Pat the chicken dry between a couple paper towels, then sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Brush both sides of the chicken with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the Dijon, then press into the panko-Parmesan mixture, making sure both sides are evenly coated.
  • Toss the broccoli, remaining 2 teaspoons of the olive oil, a good pinch of salt and several grinds of pepper in a medium bowl until evenly coated.
  • Preheat a 3.5-quart air fryer to 375 degrees F. Add the chicken to the air-fryer basket and cook until it's starting to brown and crisp on the top, about 6 minutes. Flip the chicken over with tongs and position in the center of the basket, then scatter the broccoli around the perimeter. Continue air-frying until the chicken is crisp all over and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the middle registers 160 degrees F, and the broccoli is tender and charred, about 8 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, stir together the yogurt, lemon zest and juice, remaining 1/4 teaspoon Dijon, a pinch of salt and several grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Serve alongside the chicken and broccoli for dipping.

An air fryer can form a crispy shell on chicken Parmesan while keeping the meat inside juicy. Rebecca Abbott and Jennifer West, the authors of "Air Fryer Beginner Recipes" who run the blog Air Frying Foodie, created this recipe using a crust that combines coarse panko and fine bread crumbs with Parmesan for the most flavorful crunch. It's delicious served with pasta and tomato sauce for dinner, or sandwiched in a roll for lunch.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup plain or seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 cup plain panko bread crumbs
2 1/4 ounces Parmesan, grated (1/2 cup)
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
2 large eggs
4 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts (4 to 5 ounces each), pounded to an even thickness
4 to 8 tablespoons homemade or jarred marinara sauce, plus more for serving
1 ounce mozzarella, shredded (1/4 cup), or to taste
Pasta, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat an air fryer to 350 degrees using the air crisp feature. In a shallow plate, mix both bread crumbs with the Parmesan and Italian seasoning. In a bowl, whisk the eggs.
  • Dip each piece of chicken in the egg, coating it evenly, and let excess egg drip off. Then press into the bread crumb mixture to evenly coat. Place the prepared chicken in the air fryer in a single layer. You may need to cook in batches. If you do, heat an oven to 200 degrees.
  • Cook until the crust turns deep brown, 7 to 8 minutes. The timing depends on the air fryer. Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons marinara over each breast, then sprinkle with mozzarella. Cook until the cheese melts and the chicken cooks through, an additional 4 to 5 minutes. If cooking in batches, keep the first batch warm in the oven while preparing the next. Serve immediately with your choice of pasta and sauce.

Air fryer chicken Parmesan is a healthy and delicious meal that everyone loves. Making air fryer chicken Parmesan recipes can be a daunting task for some people, but it's not as complicated as it seems. In this article, we will discuss valuable tips to help you make the perfect air fryer chicken Parmesan.

Tips for Preparing the Chicken

1. Choose the Right Cut of Chicken
When making air fryer chicken Parmesan, you need to make sure you choose the right cut of chicken. Chicken breasts are the best cut for this recipe because they are lean, tender and cook quickly.
2. Pound the Chicken Breast
Pounding the chicken breast is an essential step in making air fryer chicken Parmesan. Pounding the chicken will make it even in thickness, which ensures that it will cook evenly.
3. Marinate the Chicken Breast
Marinating your chicken breast before cooking it will make it more flavorful and tender. Use your preferred marinade to infuse the chicken with flavor. You can marinate your chicken for a few hours or overnight for maximum flavor.

Tips for Breading the Chicken

1. Use Panko Breadcrumbs
Panko breadcrumbs are the best option for breading chicken in an air fryer. They are lighter and crispier than regular breadcrumbs, which will give your chicken that perfect crunch.
2. Add Parmesan Cheese to the Breading
Adding grated Parmesan cheese to the breading mixture will give your chicken extra flavor and a cheesy crust.
3. Use a Dipping Station
Setting up a dipping station with three bowls will make breading the chicken easier. Fill one bowl with flour, one with beaten egg and another with the seasoned breadcrumb mixture. Dip the chicken breast in each bowl, starting with the flour, then the egg, and finally the breadcrumb mixture.

Tips for Air Frying the Chicken

1. Preheat the Air Fryer
Preheating the air fryer is crucial to achieving the perfect cooking temperature for your chicken. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F for about 3 minutes.
2. Spray the Chicken with Cooking Spray
Spraying the chicken with cooking spray before air frying it will ensure that it comes out crispy and golden brown. Spray both sides of the chicken with cooking spray before placing them in the air fryer.
3. Don't Overcrowd the Air Fryer Basket
Overcrowding the air fryer basket will result in uneven cooking or undercooked chicken. To ensure that the chicken cooks evenly, place the chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket.

Tips for Serving the Chicken

1. Serve with Marinara Sauce
Air fryer chicken Parmesan is best served with marinara sauce. The sauce will complement the cheesy crust and add more flavor to the dish.
2. Garnish with Fresh Basil or Parsley
Garnishing your chicken with fresh basil or parsley will give it a pop of color and add freshness to the dish.
3. Serve with a Side Salad
A side salad is a great accompaniment to air fryer chicken Parmesan. It will add some greens to your meal and balance out the richness of the chicken.

Conclusion

Making air fryer chicken Parmesan recipes is easy and straightforward as long as you follow these valuable tips. Choose the right cut of chicken, pound it, marinate it, use Panko breadcrumbs for breading, preheat the air fryer, spray the chicken with cooking spray, don't overcrowd the air fryer basket, serve it with marinara sauce, garnish it with fresh basil or parsley, and serve it with a side salad. These tips will ensure that your air fryer chicken Parmesan comes out crispy, juicy, and delicious every time.
