Quick Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan

  5.0 – 0 reviews  • Parmesan

Frozen breaded chicken fillets are the base of this chicken parmesan. Dinner is ready in less than 30 minutes with just a few simple ingredients. If you only have an air fryer and a portable hot plate to cook on, this dish is ideal for a college dorm lunch.

Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 20 mins
Servings: 2

Ingredients

  1. 1 (8 ounce) package spaghetti
  2. ½ tablespoon salt
  3. 2 fully cooked breaded chicken fillets (such as Kirkwood®)
  4. ½ (8 ounce) can marinara sauce
  5. 1 (8 ounce) package fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
  6. 1 tablespoon fresh basil, cut in very thin strips

Instructions

  1. Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 5 minutes.
  2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, set 2 chicken fillets into the air fryer basket.
  4. Air fry chicken fillets for 6 minutes. Flip fillets over and cook for 6 minutes on the other side. Spread marinara sauce over fillets. Top each fillet with mozzarella slices. Air fry until cheese is melted, about 3 more minutes.
  5. Drain spaghetti noodles and divide noodles between 2 bowls. Carefully add a chicken fillet to each bowl. Garnish with basil.
  6. I buy the Kirkwood® brand of chicken breast fillets that are sold in a red bag at Aldi®. Remaining fillets can be air-fried and served on sandwich buns for an at-home replica of the famous chicken sandwich.
