Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably whole wheat)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Notes
For an extra crispy finish, try placing the chicken in the air fryer for a couple of minutes longer, but keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn’t dry out.
