Step 1
Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Place each breast between plastic wrap and pound to 1/2-inch thickness.
Step 2
Mix panko, Parmesan, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl. Beat egg in another shallow bowl.
Step 3
Dip each chicken breast in egg, then dredge in panko mixture, pressing gently so coating adheres.
Step 4
Spray air fryer basket with olive oil. Arrange chicken in a single layer, not touching.
Step 5
Air fry at 380°F for 12 minutes, until coating is golden and internal temp reaches 165°F.
Step 6
Top each breast with 2 tablespoons marinara, then 3 tablespoons mozzarella.
Step 7
Air fry 2 minutes more, until cheese melts and bubbles. Serve hot.
