Ingredients

1 lb chicken tenderloins
2 large eggs
¾ c panko breadcrumbs
¾ c Italian breadcrumbs
½ tbsp garlic powder
2 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
½ c parmesan cheese grated
olive oil spray
marinara sauce
sliced mozzarella cheese
2 tbsp basil chopped for garnish

Instructions

In a small bowl whisk together the eggs. In another small bowl mix together both breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning and cheese.
Dip a chicken tender into the egg, shake, then coat with the bread crumb mixture, set aside. Repeat until all the chicken is coated.
Place the tenders into your air fryer basket, don't overlap. Cook on 400 for 6 minutes then flip and cook for an additional 4 minutes. Spoon marinara sauce on top of each tender. Place a slice of mozzarella cheese on top of each tender, I like to split the cheese in half then place it.
Put back in the air fryer on 400 for an additional 5 minutes.
Take it out, eat & enjoy! I recommend adding some fresh basil on top.

Notes

Every air fryer cooks differently, so check yours to make sure you aren't overcooking the tenders. If you need to cook it in a shorter time, add the marinara and cheese after the first flip.
