Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs (beaten)
  • 1.5 cups finely grated Parmesan cheese plus more for garnishing if desired
  • 1.5 cups panko bread crumbs
  • optional Lemon wedges optional for garnishing

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400F. In a shallow dish, mix flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs. In another dish, combine Parmesan and panko breadcrumbs.
  2. Dredge each chicken breast in flour mixture, then dip in beaten eggs, and press into parmesan-panko mixture to coat well.
  3. Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place coated chicken breasts in the basket, spraying the tops lightly with cooking spray.
  4. Cook in the air fryer at 400F for 6 minutes. Flip the chicken, spray again, and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165F.
  5. Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with extra Parmesan and lemon wedges if desired.

Notes

For extra crispiness, lightly spray the coated chicken before air frying. Serve with lemon wedges for added flavor.
