Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan

Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan is a great weeknight dinner! Not only is it quick to prepare, but it's also healthier than most alternatives. If you're looking for a fast and delicious meal option, this is the perfect dish. I love that there is no need to drench everything in oil or deep fry - just pop everything into the air fryer and you'll have a tasty dinner on the table in no time. It's the best way to get your family's favorite tastes without sacrificing nutrition and being stuck in the kitchen all night.
