INSTRUCTIONS
Season 18 oz chicken breasts with garlic powder, pepper, and salt (1/2 tsp each). Set aside.
In a bowl or plate, mix together 5 tbsp breadcrumbs with 1 tbsp unsalted butter and 0.5 oz parmesan.
Drag the seasoned chicken through the 1/2 beaten egg and breadcrumbs mixture, one by one. Make sure they’re coated evenly and shake off the excess. Double coat if there’s leftover breadcrumbs.
Air-fry the breaded chicken at 375°F for 15 minutes. If you haven’t cooked the pasta, this is the time.
Spread 3/4 cup tomato sauce on top of the chicken, followed by 4 oz shredded mozzarella. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
(Optional) Torch the cheese for presentation.
Sprinkle on top 1/2 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tbsp basil, and 1/2 tbsp parsley. Plate the chicken with 12 oz cooked spaghetti and enjoy.
