Italian Bread Crumbs
Panko
Parmesan Cheese

Noodles
Pasta Sauce
Seasonings - Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder and Paprika

*See recipe card for quantities*

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Boil water and cook noodles.

Step 2: While water boils, season your chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika.

Step 3: In 2 medium sized bowls, prep your dredging ingredients for breading the chicken.

Bowl 1 - Scrambled Eggs
Bowl 2 - Italian Bread Crumbs, Panko and ½ Cup Parmesan Cheese

Step 4: Using tongs, dunk each chicken breast into the egg wash and then into the bread crumb mixture. Please bread crumbs into the chicken to make sure it's coated completely. Then, repeat the process for each chicken breast.

Step 5: Preheat air fryer to 350°F. Cook parmesan chicken breasts for 6 minutes. Flip them and cook for another 6 minutes.

Step 6: While chicken cooks, strain pasta, but reserve 2 tablespoon of pasta water. In the pot, add in pasta sauce, roasted red pepper and the pasta water. Cook for 5 minutes and then add pasta back in and incorporate.

Step 7: To plate, cut cooked chicken into strips and place over noodles. Top with remaining cheese and basil leaves (optional).

Storage

Allow the chicken parmesan to cool. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Store separately from pasta sauce for best results. Reheat for 10 minutes in an air fryer or bake at 350° for 15 minutes to crisp it back up.

If freezing, wrap up each chicken breast separately and place in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months. Store separately from sauce as well.
