Description

Chicken Fritta brings the taste of Olive Garden straight to your kitchen with this simple, homemade recipe. Crispy on the outside, and juicy on the inside, it’s the perfect way to enjoy a restaurant-style meal without leaving your house!

Ingredients 

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts,
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated or shredded
  • 8 ounces fettuccine pasta, cooked (for serving)--optional
  • 1 cup alfredo sauce, prepared (for serving)--optional

Instructions

  • Start by pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness, then season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
  • Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip it in the eggs, and then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
  • Spray the air fryer basket with a little oil, then place the breaded chicken breasts inside. Spray the tops of the chicken with a little more oil to help them crisp up. Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden and crispy, and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Once the chicken is done, serve it with your favorite pasta and sauce for a delicious copycat Olive Garden Chicken Fritta meal!
