Chicken Parmesan in the Air Fryer. A classic chicken parmesan cooked in the Air Fryer with spaghetti and a homemade tomato sauce.
Covered with lots of mozzarella and parmesan cheese for that heavenly chicken and cheese moment.
I have to say that chicken parmesan in the air fryer was meant for people like me to eat each and every day.
I love chicken parmesan in the air fryer because:
- I love breaded chicken breasts
- I prefer butterfly chicken as I am not a huge eater
- I love cheese
- I love spaghetti
- I love making homemade tomato sauce
All together you bring all this into my life and onto my dinner plate and I am in food heaven.
Plus, it’s so much healthier than the way that I used to enjoy breaded chicken. From childhood nobody ever breaded it for you, it was always thanks to the freezer department of the local supermarket.
Normally it would be Aldi’s. You got sucked in with the convenience of processed foods.
You could literally place one of these breaded chicken pieces into the oven, serve it with some fries from the deep fat fryer and then you had dinner.
None of us cared about the damage that they played on your health, just that it was an easy dinner for us and our families.
But thanks to this amazing technology of air fryers for air fried foods, blenders for making quick breadcrumbs, then we can make it much healthier without feeling like we are spending all day in the kitchen.
Even better, get organised and create your own production line and its even easier:
Here at the Milners even though chicken breaded and cooked in the air fryer is a regular thing, this was the first time my little ones had tried proper chicken parmesan in the air fryer and they were hooked. I have never seen them so quiet eating before!
Plus, today is Friday which is the home of our Friday night fakeaways when we enjoy delicious homemade takeaways and I doubt there is anything better for supper than chicken parmesan in the air fryer.
How To Make Chicken Parmesan In The Air Fryer
Ingredients
- Air Fryer
- Blender
- Spaghetti Tongs
- 100 g Spaghetti
- 200 ml Homemade Tomato Sauce
- 2 Medium Chicken Breasts, butterflied
- 3 Large Eggs

- 2 Tbsp Coconut Butter
- 1 Tbsp Garlic Puree
- 30 g Mozzarella Cheese
- 50 g Parmesan Cheese

- Start by making your spaghetti. Boil it in a medium sized pan following packet instructions. When it has boiled and is just cooked drain it and wipe dry the pan. Place in the pan the coconut butter, salt, pepper and garlic puree. Cook on a medium heat until the butter has melted, and the garlic is mixed in. Using tongs mix the spaghetti into the coconut garlic butter. Put to one side.
- Create your production line. Beat together 3 large eggs in one bowl. In a second bowl add your flour and mix it with some salt and pepper. In a third bowl have your breadcrumbs.
- To make breadcrumbs blend 1/3 of a bread loaf in the blender and add to it salt, pepper, oregano and basil. When it resembles breadcrumbs place it on a plate or bowl and mix in your parmesan.
- Roll the chicken breasts in the flour, then in the egg and then the breadcrumbs. Making sure that the breadcrumbs is generously coating the chicken.
- Place the chicken parmesan in the air fryer and cook for 10 minutes at 180c/360f. After 10 minutes add a layer of parmesan cheese, then a layer of mozzarella cheese and cook for a further 2 minutes.
- Serve the chicken parmesan over the spaghetti and warm tomato sauce.
