This air fryer breaded chicken is a delicious and tasty entree. Chicken fillets are coated in breading and air fried to crispy perfection.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 lbs chicken breast fillets
• 1 egg
• 5 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 7 tbsp panko breadcrumbs

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Use a meat tenderizer to beat the chicken breast fillets until it’s thin and tender. Alternatively, slice the chicken into chicken tender-sized pieces, or use chicken tenders.
2. 2Add the flour to a bowl, the breadcrumbs to another bowl, and the egg to a third bowl. Whisk the egg together to a smooth egg mixture.
3. 3Preheat the air fryer to 200°C / 395°F.
4. 4One by one, dip the chicken pieces first into the flour to coat it completely, then in the egg mixture and coat it again, and then into the breadcrumbs. Make sure that the chicken pieces are completely coated with breadcrumbs.
5. 5Add the chicken pieces to the air fryer, making sure to leave some space between each piece. Air fry for 5-6 minutes, then flip and fry on the other side.
6. 6The required cooking time might vary depending on how thick the chicken pieces are, but the total time is typically about 10 minutes. The chicken is done when the breading is golden and crispy, and the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 75°C / 165°F.
