Tender chicken breasts are coated with crisp Italian-style bread crumbs, covered with a blanket of tomato sauce, and topped with creamy, gooey mozzarella—all in a lighter format. Thanks to the air fryer, our rendition of chicken Parmesan is as quick and healthy as it is tasty.

Ingredients

Cooking spray

4 spray(s)

Olive oil

1 Tbsp

Red wine vinegar

4 tsp

Garlic clove

1 clove(s), crushed through a press

Table salt

½ tsp, or to taste

Black pepper

¼ tsp

Dried oregano

¼ tsp

Seasoned breadcrumbs

6 Tbsp, Italian-style

Uncooked skinless boneless chicken breast

1 pound(s), 4 [4 oz] pieces

Store-bought marinara sauce

½ cup(s), divided

Shredded part skim mozzarella cheese

¼ cup(s), divided

Grated Parmesan cheese

¼ cup(s), divided

Baby arugula

½ cup(s), lightly packed

Whole wheat bread

4 oz, 4 [1 oz] slices, lightly toasted

Crushed red pepper flakes

1 pinch(es), or to taste; optional

Instructions

  1. In large shallow bowl, whisk vinegar, oil, garlic, salt, black pepper, oregano, and 1 tbsp water.
  2. Spread breadcrumbs onto small plate. Dip 1 chicken cutlet in vinegar mixture, turning until coated. Lightly coat both sides of cutlet with breadcrumbs and transfer to large plate. Repeat with remaining chicken. Lightly spray chicken with nonstick spray.
  3. Preheat air fryer to 375°F for 3 minutes. Spray Crisper Tray with nonstick spray and add 2 chicken cutlets. Air-fry chicken until golden and crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip chicken over and spread 2 tbsp marinara sauce on each cutlet. Sprinkle each with 1 tbsp mozzarella and 1 tbsp Parmesan.
  4. Air-fry until chicken is cooked through (an internal temperature of 165°), crisp, and mozzarel- la is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from air fryer and loosely cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat process with remaining chicken, marinara, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
  5. Place a few arugula leaves on each slice of toast and top each with a chicken breast. Sprinkle with red pepper (if using). Serve warm.
  6. Serving size: 1 sandwich
