Crispy Air Fryer Parmesan Chicken Savory Delight

Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• to taste salt and pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk (or regular milk)
• Olive oil spray

Instructions

1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
2. In a shallow bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. This will be your crispy coating.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and almond milk until well combined.
4. Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This helps with the crispiness.
5. Dip each chicken breast first into the egg mixture, ensuring it's completely coated, then dredge it through the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres well.
6. Once all chicken breasts are coated, lightly spray each one with olive oil to promote browning.
7. Place the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Make sure to leave space between each piece to allow for even cooking.
8. Cook in the air fryer for about 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
9. Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
