How to make chicken parmesan meatballs
Traditionally chicken parmesan is chicken breast, flattened, covered in Parmesan and baked. I've yet to try this in the air fryer but due to it's size, thought a meatball version would be quicker to cook.
Ground chicken is mixed with all the flavours of a chicken parmesan and cooked in the air fryer. Once cooked, marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese is heated over them before serving.
