Air Fryer Parmesan Crusted Chicken
Air fryer parmesan crusted chicken is an easy and delicious crunchy chicken dish. It's made with thinly sliced chicken breast, panko, and parmesan cheese.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 chicken breast sliced into 2 thin cutlets
- ⅓ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ⅓ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 egg
- salt
- pepper
- olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer at 400 degrees for 5 minutes.
- Slice chicken breast in half to get two thin cutlets. Season each cutlet with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Add panko, parmesan, oregano, and garlic powder to a shallow bowl and stir to combine.
- To another bowl, add egg and lightly whisk.
- Dip the chicken cutlets in the egg, let excess egg drip off, then coat in the panko parmesan mixture, pressing in to coat.
- Spray air fryer basket with oil and add the chicken. Lightly spray the top with oil.
- Air fry at 400 degrees F for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking.
Notes
- All air fryers cook differently. Cook times may depend on your air fryer and also the thickness of your chicken. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. Chicken breast should be cooked to a temperature of 165 degrees F.
- I like to press the panko and parmesan into the chicken when coating to make sure the coating gets onto the chicken as much as possible.
