Air Fryer Gluten Free Chicken Parmesan Recipe

Note: some of the links in this post are affiliate links. This means I potentially make a small commission from them. 

I know the picture isn’t super attractive like most other people’s. Still this gluten free chicken parmesan is super yummy and fairly easy to make. You can use any decent sized air fryer. I use my 8 quart Ninja Foodi.

If you don’t have a gluten intolerance you can use regular flour and seasoned breadcrumbs instead. Just omit the dill weed & parsley.

You don’t have to cut the chicken breasts in half. I just do because it helps control my portion sizes. Check out my post about why I track my food and use portions. 

Tip: use one hand to dunk the chicken in the stuff and use the other hand to press the breadcrumbs into the chicken. I learned if don’t do this the breadcrumbs will slide off when try to move the chicken.

Ingredients:

• 2 chicken breasts cut in half or 4 cutlets
• 3/4 c gluten free flour (1/2 might work)
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons water
• 3/4 c gluten free plain breadcrumbs (1/2 c might work)
•  1 tsp parsley
• 1 tsp dill weed
• Apx 1/2 c spaghetti sauce - I use Franceso Rinaldi because it’s GF
• Apx 1 c shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 c grated parmesan cheese

Directions:

1. Preheat air fryer at 325 for at least 5 minutes. 

2. Place the flour and salt in a bowl and stir. In another bowl, add eggs and water and wisk. In yet another bowl, add the bread crumbs, dill weed, parsley and parmesan cheese and mix them together.

3. Dredge each piece of chicken in flour. This means flop the chicken around in the flour to make sure it gets coated. Then do the same in the egg wash. Finally do it again with the breadcrumbs.  

4. Coat your basket and/or rack with non stick spray. I use EVOO so it doesn’t mess up the non stick coating or gunk up.

5. Place chicken in your cooking device and air fry for 15 minutes.

6. Top with spaghetti sauce - as much or as little as your heart desires. Top that with the mozzarella cheese, again as much or as little as your heart desires.

7. Broil for give or take 3 minutes. Just check on it every so often to get the cheese texture that makes your soul happy.

8. Serve and eat.
