This Chicken Parm is lightened up by using the air fryer to cook it. I also used whole wheat bread crumbs and reduced fat cheese to cut a few more calories without missing out on any flavor. In the end this chicken ends up perfectly crisp on the outside and loaded up with good Italian flavors in the sauce and cheese on top. It’s quick and easy to toss together so it’s perfect for weeknight dinners!
