Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan Recipe *Low Weight Watchers Points*

This Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan Recipe is one of my favorite Air Fryer recipes! I love how easy it is to make and that the kids eat the whole dinner every time. Chicken is one of those lean proteins that I can get the whole family to eat so it’s a total win.

Now I have fallen in love with using my air fryer, as the weather has gotten warmer I especially love that it doesn’t heat up my house either! I will admit, I use mine a lot to heat up frozen chicken tenders from the store and potatoes like tater tots.  One day Isabella pointed out that we could just make our own so we did.  We had made, Air Fryer Chicken Tenders so it wasn’t hard to make our favorite Italian dinner Chicken Parmesan. 

WHAT IS Weight Watchers?

When starting any new weight loss program or diet changes be sure to consult with a doctor or physician about any personal health concerns. It is a good idea to have blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and hormones checked at a physical before and during being on the WW program.

New to Weight Watchers?? Also known as WW, a weight loss program uses points assigned to food to track and lose weight. When you sign up, you take an assessment that will assign you a point value to eat daily and a weekly allowance. You can carry over 4 points from the day into your weekly allowance, which is handy when you need more points.

I have been on Weight Watchers since 2011. They have had Points Plus Value, WW Smartpoints, blue plan, green plan, purple plan, WW Personal Points, and now Weight Watchers Points. The new Weight Watchers Simplified plan is the new program launched in November 2022 is similar to previous plans like WW Smartpoints, with some color plans.

No matter the WW plan, they work to help you learn healthy eating habits. I have hit lifetime goal weight a couple of times but stopped operating the plan and tracking, so the weight does creep back on. You do stay on as a lifetime member, just working towards goal.

Air Fryer Parmesan Recipe Ingredients:

• Chicken Tenderloins-Use boneless skinless chicken breasts that can be sliced into these to be zero weight watchers points.
• Parmesan Cheese
• Plain Breadcrumbs
• Parsley
• Garlic Salt
• Fresh Ground Pepper
• Egg

How To Make Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan:

Spray your racks to the air fryer with a non-stick spray. This will help to make sure that the breading won’t stick to the trays. 

In a bowl combine your Parmesan Cheese, Breadcrumbs, Parsley, Garlic Salt, and Ground Pepper.  Mix it all, I used a fork to break up any clumps of cheese.  

Crack your egg into a separate bowl, this will be used for an egg wash.  You can either dip or bath your chicken before the breading. 

Beat your egg with a  fork, I started with one egg.  I realized I needed more and added a second egg. 

Use a basting brush to brush the egg onto your chicken breasts, or use a fork to dip the chicken.

After the chicken is coated in eggs drag the chicken through the breading until it is well coated. 

Lay your chicken out on your Air Fryer trays.   

Repeat until all the chicken breasts are coated and ready to bake.

Now I used an Air Fryer that PowerXL sent me and you can order them on Amazon -> here.  I had an egg-shaped air fryer before but with how large my family is the rack is the way to go for cooking lots of food at once.

Turn your Air Fryer to 350 degrees.  I started mine at 20 minutes and kept an eye on how they were cooking.  The thinner the chicken the faster it will cook. 

Be sure to use a meat thermometer (Find it -> here on Amazon) to make sure your chicken is cooked to 165 degrees.  

Serve and enjoy!!

We paired ours up with spaghetti and a green salad!!
