Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 eggs, beaten
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- In a shallow bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs.
- Dip each chicken breast first into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Then, coat the chicken in the Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
- Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Place the coated chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they do not touch each other.
- Spray the tops of the chicken with a little more cooking spray for extra crispiness.
- Cook in the air fryer for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Remove from the air fryer and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in your favorite marinade for 30 minutes before coating.
- Feel free to add additional spices or herbs to the breadcrumb mixture for a personal touch.
- Serve with a side of vegetables or a salad for a complete meal.
