Parmesan Crusted Chicken In The Air Fryer
Indulge in the crispy, cheesy perfection of Parmesan crusted chicken in the air fryer, ready in 30 minutes and a guaranteed hit with the whole family!
Ingredients
- 1 pound thin sliced chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 3/4 cup shredded parmesan
- ¼ cup grated parmesan
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Combine your mayonnaise and seasonings in a small bowl.
- Use paper towels to pat your chicken dry. This helps the mayo stick.
- Use a basting brush and brush the mayonnaise mixture onto each side of the chicken.
- In a rectangular dish, combine the parmesan cheese and panko crumbs.
- Lay one chicken breast at a time in your cheese and panko, patting the chicken until it is completely coated. Lift the breast out and shake any loose breading off.
- Continue until all of the chicken is coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 360 degrees F. Spray the inside of your basket.
- Two breasts at a time, lay your chicken down, matching the thickness as close as you can for even cooking.
- Cook for 8 minutes and then carefully flip for an additional 4-6 minutes.
- Serve with your favorite sides, and enjoy!
Notes
- Simply slice a chicken breast in half lengthwise and use a tenderizer to pound it as thin as you like.
- Make sure the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
- You may need to adjust the cooking time for the thickness of the chicken breasts.
