This chicken Parmesan starts out with frozen breaded chicken fillets. It only takes a handful of ingredients and dinner is ready in less than 30 minutes. Perfect for a college dorm meal if you only have an air fryer and a portable hot plate to cook on.

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) package spaghetti
½ tablespoon salt
2 fully cooked breaded chicken fillets (such as Kirkwood®)
½ (8 ounce) can marinara sauce
1 (8 ounce) package fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
1 tablespoon fresh basil, cut in very thin strips

Directions

Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 5 minutes.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, set 2 chicken fillets into the air fryer basket.
Air fry chicken fillets for 6 minutes. Flip fillets over and cook for 6 minutes on the other side. Spread marinara sauce over fillets. Top each fillet with mozzarella slices. Air fry until cheese is melted, about 3 more minutes.
Drain spaghetti noodles and divide noodles between 2 bowls. Carefully add a chicken fillet to each bowl. Garnish with basil.

Cook's Note:

I buy the Kirkwood® brand of chicken breast fillets that are sold in a red bag at Aldi®. Remaining fillets can be air-fried and served on sandwich buns for an at-home replica of the famous chicken sandwich.
