- Spoon 2 tablespoons of marinara on top of each cutlet, followed by 2 ounces of fresh mozzarella.

Notes
-
- You want to make sure to use shredded, not grated parmesan cheese for this keto chicken parmesan recipe. You do not want the powder kind.
-
- Use chicken breast sliced in half lengthwise instead of pounding the chicken thin between pieces of plastic wrap. This makes for a much easier and less messy preparation.

Make this keto chicken parmesan in the air fryer
Prepare your air fryer by lining the basket or tray with foil and spraying the foil with cooking spray or coating with oil. Prepare the chicken breast with the parmesan just like the instructions in step 2. Work in batches, if necessary. Place each piece in the air fryer basket and air fry at 400F for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Top with the marinara and the cheese and air fry for 3-5 minutes more, or until the cheese is melted and starting to brown.
