Air Fryer Panko Breaded Low-Fat Chicken Parmesan with Marinara Sauce
I am still on my experimenting kick with the Air Fryer. I feel like I have mastered battered fried chicken wings (be sure to check out my Garlic Parmesan Fried Chicken Wings and Sriracha Honey Bourbon Fried Chicken Wings recipes), and decided to move over to a fried chicken parmesan recipe.
I have made chicken parmesan a few times before. I have always baked it, opposed to frying it. In restaurants, chicken parm is usually prepared fried. Thanks to the Air Fryer I can do that myself out home and save a ton of the fat.
Stay Snatched recipes are focused on quick and easy. With that in mind, I totally understand if you want to cut out some time for this recipe and use store-bought marinara. There really are some good ones out there, so feel free! I prepared my homemade marinara for this recipe. You can find the recipe below. It does take about 20 minutes to simmer. I usually start with the marinara and allow it to simmer while I prep the remaining ingredients. You can also get the chicken going in the Air Fryer during this time.

Chicken parm is one of my favorite things to get at a restaurant, but at home, as you mentioned you did, I have always baked it. They are good, but not fry-er good. The ones you made in the air fryer look AMAZING! I have just started hearing how awesome air fryers are. I may have to start looking more into getting one!

So Yummy. My family loves chicken parmesan and this recipe sounds amazing. I like the idea of air frying for a healthier option.

That looks delicious! I keep seeing air fryers and am so tempted to get one, this is really making me consider it!

Ooh! I bet if you can make that in one, eggplant parm would also be great! A healthier eggplant parmesan – now that has me interested!

I need to get an air fryer! I make egg plant parmesan very often but this way more healthier and easier too!
October 10, 2017 @ 2:20 am
This is sooo easy and really delicious. My teenage sons loved it and they are so fussy! I served it with fries and a tossed salad…it was just like a restaurant meal.

Must invest in an Air Fryer…this chicken looks DELICIOUS. I LOVE chicken Parmesan but have only ever had it fried. Yours looks so good, I might try the healthy way too.

Air Fryers are my new love. They crisp things up so nice. Bring on the marinara!

I don’t eat meat, but I my family would love this. breaded chicken cutlets are one of their favorites.

Chicken Parmesan and I have a love hate relationship. I never enjoy it when I eat out but I think if I make it at home I can control the crunchiness of the chicken. I want, nay…NEED an air fryer!

i love eggplant parmesan!
October 10, 2017 @ 7:32 am
We haven’t had a chicken dinner in a while! I’m so curious about the air fryers and you have so many recipes, that I went online to see where can I find one, as I haven’t even seen one before! Turns out they are everywhere online! Maybe this will be my Christmas gift 😉
October 10, 2017 @ 11:44 am
OMG, I really need to get myself an air-fryer! I keep seeing all these delicious recipes, just like this one, and would love to give them a try. These just look SO good 🙂

Parmesan chicken is one of my favorites. I like how you took us through the paces step by step. The air fryer is definitely an option for the weight watchers like me.

I have found a recipe I can eat and using a air fryer happy days! Thanks so much I love my little air fryer because I suck at cooking and it really does help reduce fat! X

I just got an air fryer and I am going to have to try it out soon. I would definitely love trying out this recipe.

I need to get an air fryer already. My husband and I bought a deep fryer when we first got married but I think it’s time to upgrade to a healthier option.
October 17, 2017 @ 4:22 pm
I’ve seen the air fryer on here a few times. I’ve mentioned it a few time to my fiance. Hopefully he gets the hint and make this one of my Christmas gifts!
