What is Chicken Parmesan?
There are two names for this dish. You can either call it Chicken Parmesan or Chicken Parmigiana. It is an Italian chicken dish that is served in many popular American restaurants, including Olive Garden. In Italy, the meat is usually veal, or even more common in Italy is Eggplant Parmesan (Parmigiana di melanzane)

Chicken Parmesan is generally breaded chicken, then a tomato sauce is poured over, and then mozzarella cheese is sprinkled on top. It is usually prepared pan-fried, fried in oil.

Today, we opted for a healthier version using our air fryer. You still get the crispy chicken, and it’s still served with a layer of tomato sauce, and of course, covered with cheese. The only thing that you are missing is the layer of oil that it is usually fried in.

How Do You Keep Chicken Parmesan Crispy?
Chicken Parmesan is a delicious dish that many people have been making for years. What most cooks don’t know, however, is how to get air fryer chicken crispy; the key lies with your cooking spray.

For best results, spray your chicken coating with cooking spray, a think layer, but enough to cover all of the breading. This will produce a crispy and juicy exterior.

What Sauce Should I Use For This Recipe?
The best thing about this recipe is that you can either use homemade or jarred—both work. I happened to have a homemade version of the Olive Garden Marinara Sauce on hand, so I used that in my recipe.

What Kind of Cheese Do You Use To Make Chicken Parmesan?
The regular cheese to many any chicken parmesan is either shredded mozzarella or shredded Parmesan cheese.

For best results, freshly shred your cheese so it melts perfectly. Remember, store-bought shredded mozzarella contains a thin coating of cellulose which prevents your cheese from melting.

What Side Dish Can You Serve With Chicken Parmesan?
It is typically served with a side of spaghetti. Just like the original recipe you will receive at Olive Garden. Another great side would be a salad. I love a great salad with my chicken parmesan.
