Prep

Step 1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season Chicken Breast with some of the Salt. Beat Eggs in a shallow bowl.
Step 2. Mix Panko, Parmesan and half the Olive Oil in another shallow bowl. Dip the chicken in egg, then press into the crumbs to coat both sides.

Cook

Step 3. Heat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Cook the cutlets in a single layer in batches, turning halfway, until golden and cooked through with no pink inside, about 10 minutes per batch.
Step 4. Meanwhile, add the rest of the Salt and Spaghetti to the boiling water. Cook until just tender, about 9 minutes or according to the package, then drain.
Step 5. Meanwhile, heat Tomato Sauce in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until steaming, about 5 minutes. Keep warm over low heat.
Step 6. Spoon a little warm marinara onto each cutlet and top with Mozzarella. Air-fry in batches at 400°F (200°C) until the cheese melts, about 2 minutes per batch.

Finish & serve

Step 7. Toss Lettuce and Cherry Tomatoes with Balsamic Vinegar and the rest of the Olive Oil. Toss the spaghetti with the remaining marinara and serve with the chicken and salad.

Tips

Good to know

Check the thickest part of each cutlet with a thermometer; chicken is safe at 165°F.

Swap it

Use gluten-free spaghetti and gluten-free panko if needed.

Leftovers

Refrigerate leftovers promptly for up to 3 days, keeping the salad separate; reheat the chicken in the air fryer until hot.
