🍗 Air Fryer Parmesan Crusted Chicken - crispy, cheesy, and delicious! 🍗
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¾ cup breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 large eggs, beaten
Olive oil spray (for greasing)
Directions:
Preheat the Air Fryer:
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for 3-5 minutes.
Prepare the Coating:
In a shallow dish, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper.
Coat the Chicken:
Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s fully coated. Then, dredge the chicken in the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks well.
Spray the Basket:
Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Cook the Chicken:
Place the coated chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Lightly spray the chicken with olive oil to help crisp up the crust. Cook at 380°F (193°C) for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the crust is golden brown.
Serve:
Serve the Air Fryer Parmesan Crusted Chicken hot, and enjoy the crispy, cheesy goodness! Pair it with your favorite side dish or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
