This Chicken Parm recipe is perfect for one and can be made in either the air fryer or the oven. Serve it with a side salad and a roll for a perfectly balanced meal. The dish features a breaded chicken breast topped with marinara sauce, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese, garnished with basil for added flavor.
1: Preheat the oven to 375F. If using an air fryer, skip this step.
2: Take a chicken breast and beat it until it’s about 1/2 centimeter thick. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside and assemble the egg wash and panko coating.
3: Mix the panko bread crumbs, grated Parmesan, flour, and Italian seasonings to create the panko breading. Coat the chicken in the egg wash, then coat it in the panko mixture.
4: Drizzle the coated chicken with olive oil and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. If air frying, air fry at 350F for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.
5: Remove from the oven and top with marinara sauce, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, and more Italian seasoning. Bake again for 5-8 minutes or until the cheese starts to bubble.
6: Remove from the oven, garnish with more grated Parmesan, basil, and olive oil. Let it cool, and enjoy!
