🥘 Ingredients
Chicken
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (halved to make 4 cutlets)
Breading
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs (beaten)
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
Assembly
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
Garlic Bread
  • 4 slices Italian bread (thick sliced)
  • 2 tbsp butter (softened)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
Garnish
  • 1 tbsp fresh basil (chiffonade)
📝 Instructions
  1. Pound chicken to even thickness. Set up breading: flour, egg, panko + Parmesan + Italian seasoning. Shared 💡 Even thickness = even cooking for all 4 cutlets.
  2. Dredge chicken in flour, egg, then panko mixture. Press firmly. Shared 💡 Firm press means crust stays on during cooking.
  3. Set Dual Zone: Zone 2 Air Fry 390°F, Zone 2 Bake 375°F. Use Smart Finish. Shared 💡 Smart Finish syncs both zones to finish together.
  4. Place breaded chicken in Zone 1 basket. Spread butter and garlic powder on bread, place in Zone 2 pan. Shared 💡 Start both zones at the same time.
  5. After 15 minutes: top chicken with marinara and mozzarella. Flip garlic bread. Lower Oven 💡 Adding cheese mid-cook prevents burning.
  6. Both zones finish together. Chicken cheese should be bubbly, garlic bread golden. Shared 💡 Smart Finish means no babysitting — it all finishes at once.
  7. Rest 5 minutes. Garnish chicken with fresh basil. Serve together. Shared 💡 A complete Italian dinner from one appliance.
💡 Ninja Tips

Smart Finish is the key — let the Ninja sync the zones. Add cheese mid-cook. Use thick bread for garlic bread. Fresh basil at the end elevates everything.

Scaling: Double: Two batches. Half: 2 cutlets + 2 bread slices; zone times same.
