Oven-baked tomato & chicken parm with a garlic basil dressing

I have made this oven-baked tomato & chicken parm recipe twice in the past two weeks. I wanted to make something good before Kyle left for Germany, and he is team “anything with basil and chicken.” The best part about this recipe is that it only takes 30-minutes to make! The leftovers were just as good, and I had them several nights when I didn’t have time to cook.
This recipe can be made in the air fryer, is gluten-free, and doesn’t require many ingredients.

How to make gluten-free chicken parm

Step One: Make the garlic & basil dressing. Mix garlic, dillweed, olive oil, shallots, pepper, lemon juice, onion powder, parmesan, basil, and honey in a blender. 

Step Two: Slice chicken breast into thin pieces. I cut a large chicken breast in half and then cut it down the middle. Press the chicken down into the gluten-free Italian bread crumbs on each side.

Step Three: Slice the fresh mozzarella cheese and place it on the sliced tomatoes and breaded chicken breast. 

Step Four: Drizzle the garlic and basil dressing over the top of the mozzarella.
Step Five: Season with black pepper, dillweed, and freshly shredded parmesan.

Step Six: Bake for 20-22 minutes at 400 degrees.
For the broccoli, I steamed it until it was halfway cooked, and then seasoned it with the leftover garlic and basil, and then baked them with the chicken and tomato parm.
