Method
12 steps- Prepare the marinara sauce by heating 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat, adding minced garlic cloves, cooking until sizzled, then adding crushed tomatoes, basil sprigs, sugar, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 15-20 minutes.
- Slice 500g of baby potatoes in half, toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, and smoked paprika. Season to taste and coat evenly.
- Butterfly cut 2 chicken breasts, then flatten with a meat mallet until even.
- Set up three bowls: one with 2 cups plain flour, one with 3 beaten eggs mixed with 1/2 cup milk, and one with 1.5 cups panko breadcrumbs mixed with 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon sweet paprika, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip into egg wash, then coat thoroughly with breadcrumb mixture.
- Spray the air fryer basket with oil, place the potatoes in one basket, and the chicken in the other, ensuring they are not overlapping.
- Set the air fryer to 200°C and cook the potatoes for 10 minutes, then flip and cook for another 10 minutes.
- Add the chicken to the air fryer, cook for 10 minutes, flip, then cook for another 10 minutes, then reduce to 200°C for 3 minutes.
- Remove the chicken, spread marinara sauce over each piece, then sprinkle with Parmesan and mozzarella cheese.
- Place the chicken back into the air fryer and cook for an additional 3 minutes until cheese melts.
- Season the roasted potatoes with sea salt flakes and toss.
- Serve the chicken with marinara sauce and cheese, garnished with parsley and basil, alongside the roasted potatoes.
