Air Fryer Parmesan Crusted Chicken

Ingredients

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 4 cutlets

1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 large egg, beaten

1 tablespoon olive oil spray

Directions

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

In a shallow dish, combine panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Dip each chicken cutlet into the beaten egg, ensuring it’s fully coated.

Press the egg-coated cutlet into the panko mixture, coating both sides evenly.

Place the coated chicken cutlets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook in batches.

Lightly spray the tops of the chicken with olive oil.

Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F or 74°C).

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or over a salad.
