Ingredients

  • 4 chicken cutlets
  • 3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  • Pound out your cutlets if the cutlets are not of similar size and thickness. This will help them cook up evenly.
  • On a plate mix together the bread crumbs, panko, kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  • In a small bowl whisk together the eggs and milk.
  • Working with one piece of chicken at a time, coat the chicken in the egg and milk mixture. Once evenly covered, transfer onto your breadcrumb plate. 
  • Press the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture coating both sides evenly.
  • Add to a clean plate and set the prepared chicken aside.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F.
  • Once preheated, add your prepared chicken cutlets to the air fryer. If your chicken cannot fit in one layer you'll have to work in batches.
  • Cook at 400 degrees F for 6 minutes per side or until it reaches 165 degrees F.
  • Remove from the air fryer, and top each cutlet with an equal amount of marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese.
  • Add back to the air fryer and air fry at 400 degrees F for 1-2 minutes to just melt the cheese.
  • Sprinkle with fresh minced basil if desired.
