Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Coating
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3/4 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to remove moisture, allowing the coating to adhere better.
- Coat the chicken: In a shallow bowl, mix the grated Parmesan cheese and seasoned breadcrumbs. Press each chicken breast firmly into the mixture to create an even, thick crust on both sides.
- Preheat the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Air fry the chicken: Place the coated chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap. Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) is reached.
- Serve: Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before serving to retain juiciness.
Notes
- Use panko breadcrumbs for an extra crispy texture.
- Spray the coated chicken lightly with cooking spray before air frying to enhance crispiness.
- Adjust cooking time depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
- Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
