Cut the chicken breasts into fillets if needed and lightly season with salt and pepper.
Prepare two bowls. One with the beaten egg and the other with a mixture of the crushed pork rinds, ½ cup grated parmesan, parsley, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Dip the chicken fillets into the egg wash and transfer them to the pork rind mixture. Press the fillets to coat with a fork. Remove the excess and repeat with the remaining chicken pieces.
Place the breaded chicken side by side into the Air Fryer basket not touching each other (you may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your air fryer), spray with a little oil and cook for 10 minutes at 380ºF (193℃).
Flip the fillets over and spread the fillets with the tomato sauce. Sprinkle the fresh parmesan on top, and cook for 5 more minutes.
Remove from the air fryer basket, sprinkle chopped parsley and serve.
Oven Directions
Preheat Oven to 425°F (220℃) and Grease or oil a baking sheet.
Repeat steps 1,2 and 3 from the above air fryer directions.
Place coated fillets on a greased baking sheet and bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until chicken is done in the center.
Remove from oven, flip fillets over, and pour over each fillet the marinara or tomato sauce. Sprinkle with the fresh grated parmesan cheese and return to the oven to bake for 3 to 5 minutes more or until cheese is melted and sauce is warm.
Remove from oven sprinkle with optional parsley and serve.
