Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 3 medium)
- 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. If the chicken breasts are very thick, you can slice them in half horizontally to ensure even cooking.
- In one shallow dish, combine the parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. In another shallow dish, beat the eggs.
- Dip each chicken breast in the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, dredge the chicken in the parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres well. Make sure the chicken is evenly coated on all sides.
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C). Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray to prevent sticking. Place the coated chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd. You may need to cook the chicken in batches.
- Cook for 8-10 minutes, then flip the chicken breasts and continue cooking for another 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of the chicken breasts and the specific model of your air fryer.
- Once the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy, remove it from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
