To make Quick Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup marinara sauce
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Fresh basil, chopped

To start, preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Then, prepare your chicken by pounding it to an even thickness and seasoning it with salt and pepper. Next, set up your breading station by placing the flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese in separate bowls.
Dredge the chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip it in the egg, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Place the breaded chicken in the air fryer basket and cook for 10 minutes. Flip the chicken over and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the breading is crispy and golden brown.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the air fryer and top it with marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese. Return the chicken to the air fryer and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
To serve, sprinkle the chicken with fresh chopped basil and enjoy!
