1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
Optional: fresh parsley for garnish, marinara for dipping
Instructions
1. Preheat air fryer to 375°F and pound chicken thin.
2. Place mozzarella on chicken, roll tightly, and secure with toothpicks.
3. Set up 3 bowls: flour, egg mixture, and breadcrumb mix.
4. Coat chicken in flour, dip in egg, then press into breadcrumb mix.
5. Brush with olive oil and air fry 12–15 minutes at 375°F, flipping once.
