Quick Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan

This chicken Parmesan starts out with frozen breaded chicken fillets. It only takes a handful of ingredients and dinner is ready in less than 30 minutes. Perfect for a college dorm meal if you only have an air fryer and a portable hot plate to cook on.

Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) package spaghetti
• 0.5 tablespoon salt
• 2 fully cooked breaded chicken fillets (such as Kirkwood®)
• 0.5 (8 ounce) can marinara sauce
• 1 (8 ounce) package fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
• 1 tablespoon fresh basil, cut in very thin strips

Steps

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.
