Method
Blend the chicken breast, egg, grated Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasonings in a food processor or bowl until a cohesive mixture forms.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Chicken mixture forms a cohesive paste with seasoning evenly distributed.
Take each mozzarella stick and wrap it tightly with the chicken mixture, pressing firmly so the coating adheres completely.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Mozzarella is completely enclosed by the chicken mixture.
Optional: Sprinkle an additional layer of grated Parmesan over the coated sticks for extra crispness.
Place the coated sticks in a pre‑heated air fryer basket and cook at 400°F (400°F) for 10–12 minutes, or until the coating is golden and crispy.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Coating turns golden and crisp in the air fryer.
Remove the sticks from the air fryer, let them rest for a minute, then serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
