Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon dried Italian herbs (like oregano and basil)
- 2 pieces eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or olive oil
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs.
- Dip each chicken breast into the egg, then coat with the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture.
Cooking
- Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the chicken breasts in the basket in a single layer.
- Cook for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 75°C).
Serving
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
Make sure to preheat the air fryer for even cooking. Flip the chicken halfway through for crispy results. For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken before coating. Best enjoyed fresh; reheating in the air fryer maintains crispiness.
