Description
Crispy and flavorful air fryer chicken with a zesty Parmesan crust, perfect for weeknight dinners or special occasions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko or Italian seasoned)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk or water
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken by placing each breast between plastic wrap and gently pounding to an even thickness.
- Make the breading by mixing Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, flour, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.
- Whisk the eggs and milk in another shallow dish, and set up a third dish with flour for dredging.
- Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip into the egg wash, and finally press into the Parmesan mixture to coat both sides.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and spray the basket with cooking spray.
- Air fry the chicken breasts in a single layer for 8-10 minutes, then flip and cook an additional 5-8 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
