Description
Succulent chicken breasts coated in a crispy, golden crust of Parmesan and breadcrumbs, delivering a satisfying crunch with each bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 3 medium)
- 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
- Pound the chicken: Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
- Prepare the coatings: Pat the chicken dry and mix Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, flour, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper in one dish. In another dish, whisk eggs and milk.
- Dredge the chicken: Coat each chicken breast in flour, dip in egg wash, and then press into the Parmesan mixture.
- Preheat the air fryer: Set to 375°F (190°C) and spray the basket with cooking spray.
- Air fry the chicken: Cook in a single layer for 8-10 minutes, flip, and cook for another 5-8 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Rest before serving: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Notes
Use panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch and ensure chicken is properly dried for the coating to stick.
