Air Fryer Parmesan Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 chicken breasts boneless, skinless
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1/3 cup parmesan cheese freshly grated
• 1/3 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt adjust to taste

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the chicken: Slice each chicken breast horizontally into two halves with a sharp knife. Pat the chicken dry.

2. 2

   Apply mayonnaise: Spread the mayonnaise evenly on both sides of the chicken halves using a butter knife to help the coating stick.

3. 3

   Make the coating mixture: In a wide, shallow bowl, combine the parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, black pepper, and sea salt. Mix well with a fork or spoon.

4. 4

   Coat the chicken: Dredge each mayonnaise-coated chicken half in the parmesan mixture, pressing gently so the coating adheres well on both sides.

5. 5

   Preheat air fryer: Set your air fryer to 380 degrees Fahrenheit and allow it to preheat.

6. 6

   Cook the chicken: Arrange the coated chicken breasts in the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Cook for 12 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning and crispiness.

7. 7

   Serve the chicken hot straight from the air fryer with your favorite sauce or dip. Optionally, slice the chicken for easier serving.
