Ingredients
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Cooking spray or olive oil (for greasing)
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Air Fryer Parmesan Crusted Chicken:
1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat for about 5 minutes.
2. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps the coating adhere better.
3. Season the Chicken: Sprinkle salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning on both sides of each chicken breast.
4. Set Up the Breading Station: In one bowl, beat the eggs. In another bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs.
5. Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Then, press it into the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, covering it completely.
6. Prepare the Air Fryer Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or brush it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
7. Arrange the Chicken: Place the coated chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not touching.
8. Cook the Chicken: Air fry for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and is golden brown.
9. Remove and Rest: Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
