Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast sliced into 4 cutlets about 1/2 inch thick
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 3/4 cup plain fine breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan
  • 1/2 tsp fine salt
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/3 cup thick marinara sauce
  • 4 oz low-moisture mozzarella thinly sliced

Method
 

  1. Preheat a 6-quart air fryer to 390°F for 3 minutes. Put flour in a shallow dish, egg beaten with water in another, and fine breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan, salt, and oregano in a third.
  2. Lightly coat cutlets in flour, egg, then crumbs. Dab both sides with oil, dividing measured amount among 4 pieces.
  3. Space 2 cutlets in basket. Air fry 5 minutes; turn and cook 5 to 7 minutes more until golden and at least 165°F.
  4. Top cooked cutlets with half the marinara and mozzarella. Air fry 1 to 2 minutes until cheese melts; lift onto plate with wide spatula.
  5. Repeat remaining cutlets, sauce, and cheese. Rest final batch 3 minutes; serve one cutlet per person.
