Air Fryer Parmesan Crusted Chicken

This recipe is ideal for anyone who loves the classic taste of fried chicken but desires a lighter, quicker option.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil spray

Instructions

  1. Prep for Cooking: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare Dredging Stations: Arrange three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of panko, Parmesan, garlic powder, and Italian herbs.
  3. Dredge the Chicken: Season chicken with salt and pepper. Coat each breast first in flour, then in egg, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture.
  4. Prepare for Air Frying: Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray. Place the breaded chicken in the basket, not touching each other. Spray the tops with olive oil spray.
  5. Cook: Air fry for 10 minutes. Flip the chicken, spray again, and continue to cook for another 10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the chicken immediately, offering a crispy outside with a juicy, tender inside.
