Description

A quick and healthier version of fried chicken using an air fryer.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup Italian seasoned panko bread crumbs
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • Olive oil spray
  • Fresh parsley finely chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F.
  2. Cut chicken breasts in half to make four thin breasts. Place one thin breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound into a thin, even piece with a meat tenderizer. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
  3. In a small bowl, stir together the mayo and minced garlic. Spread the garlic mayo all over the chicken breasts.
  4. In a shallow bowl, combine the Panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Place a chicken breast into the bread crumbs and press down. Flip and coat the other side. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
  5. Coat the air fryer basket with olive oil spray.
  6. Place the chicken in the basket and cook for 8 minutes. Flip and cook for another 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Remove chicken and serve warm with extra Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley for garnish.

Notes

  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket.
  • Use fresh Parmesan for best results.
