Description
Crispy, golden chicken reminiscent of traditional frying but made healthier in an air fryer. Enjoy the rich taste of Parmesan cheese with garlic and herbs.
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
- Prepare the Chicken: Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap or inside a resealable bag. Pound to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
- Set Up Your Dredging Station: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. In a shallow dish, combine Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, flour, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Create the Egg Wash: In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk or water until well combined.
- Dredge the Chicken: Place flour in a third shallow dish. Dredge chicken in flour, then dip into the egg wash, then press into the Parmesan mixture.
- Air Fry Your Chicken: Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and spray the basket. Arrange chicken in a single layer and air fry for 8-10 minutes, flip, and cook for another 5-8 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Rest and Serve: Allow chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Pound chicken evenly for proper cooking; let it rest after cooking for better texture.
