INSTRUCTIONS
Season the chicken: Sprinkle 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, and 1/4 tsp paprika over 26 oz skinless, boneless chicken breast. Rub to coat the spices evenly. Let it rest for 5 minutes on the counter.
Make the crust in the meantime: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, grated 0.5 oz parmesan cheese, 1 tbsp unsalted butter, and 2 tbsp parsley. Mix well and set aside.
Coat the chicken: Dip the seasoned chicken into 2 tbsp all-purpose flour, covering all sides, and shake off the excess. Continue to dip it into the beaten 1 medium egg and finally into the seasoned breadcrumbs. Press lightly to seal the crust onto the chicken. Set aside.
Cook the chicken: Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes at 350°F. Put the chicken into the basket of the air fryer. Close and cook for 15 minutes. Take the chicken out, ladle spoonfuls of 1/4 cup homemade tomato sauce over the chicken, and top with 2 oz mozzarella cheese. Cook for another 3 minutes at 375°F.
Serve: Remove the chicken from the air fryer. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tbsp parsley over the chicken. Put 4 oz romaine lettuce on a serving plate and scatter 4 oz orange, 4 oz cucumber, 0.5 oz radish, and 2 oz cashew on top. Place a piece of chicken next to the salad and serve.
