SPICY VODKA CHICKEN PARMESAN 

INGREDIENTS

6 Points

• ¾ cup vodka sauce, I used 365 jarred vodka sauce
• olive oil spray
• 2 8-ounce boneless chicken breasts, halved lengthwise to make 4 (16 oz total)
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs, I like 4C
• 4 slices fresh mozzarella cheese, 4 ounces total
• 1/2 cup sliced hot jarred cherry peppers

INSTRUCTIONS

• Heat the vodka sauce and add a little water to thin if it’s too thick.
• Pound the thicker end of the chicken lightly to make thinner. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place in the egg, then into the breadcrumbs and pat well with the back of a fork.
• Shake and transfer to the air fryer basket or oven. Repeat with remaining cutlets.

Air Fryer Method:

• Spray both sides of the chicken with oil then air fryer 400F 7 to 8 minutes, turning halfway, in batches as needed.
• Spoon the vodka sauce over the cutlets then top with half of the cherry peppers.
• Top each cutlet with 1 ounce mozzarella, then sprinkle with remaining spicy cherry peppers. Air fry 300F until the cheese melts and the chicken is cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes. Serve hot.

Oven Method:

• Place foil on a sheet pan. Preheat oven to 450F.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes, until golden and cooked through in the center. No need to turn.
• Spoon the vodka sauce over the cutlets then top with half of the cherry peppers.
• Top each cutlet with 1 ounce mozzarella, then sprinkle with remaining spicy cherry peppers.
• Bake until the cheese melts and the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Serve hot.
