Description

Prepare chicken with a crispy Parmesan crust using an air fryer.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large egg, beaten

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a shallow dish, combine Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  3. Dip each chicken breast in the beaten egg, then dredge in the Parmesan mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated.
  4. Place chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  5. Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.
  6. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the Parmesan mixture.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or side dishes.
