A quick and easy recipe for crispy, flavorful Parmesan Crusted Chicken made in the air fryer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 3 medium)
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko or Italian seasoned)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk or water
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Begin by placing each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap or in a resealable bag.
  2. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound the chicken until it’s an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
  3. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
  4. In a shallow dish, mix together the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, flour, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  5. In another dish, whisk the eggs and milk or water together until blended.
  6. Place the flour in a third dish for dredging.
  7. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, ensuring all sides are coated.
  8. Dip the floured chicken into the egg wash, ensuring it’s fully coated.
  9. Press each piece of chicken into the Parmesan mixture, coating both sides evenly.
  10. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  11. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
  12. Arrange the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  13. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, then flip the chicken and cook for another 5-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  14. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest briefly before serving.

Notes

For the best flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Experiment with different breadcrumbs and seasonings to customize the recipe.
