Method

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Butterfly cut 2 chicken breasts, then flatten with a meat mallet until even.
4. 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.
5. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip into egg wash, then coat thoroughly with breadcrumb mixture.
6. Spray the air fryer basket with oil, place the potatoes in one basket, and the chicken in the other, ensuring they are not overlapping.
7. Set the air fryer to 200°C and cook the potatoes for 10 minutes, then flip and cook for another 10 minutes.
8. 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.
9. Remove the chicken, spread marinara sauce over each piece, then sprinkle with Parmesan and mozzarella cheese.
10. Place the chicken back into the air fryer and cook for an additional 3 minutes until cheese melts.
11. Season the roasted potatoes with sea salt flakes and toss.
12. Serve the chicken with marinara sauce and cheese, garnished with parsley and basil, alongside the roasted potatoes.
