Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 3 medium)
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko or Italian)
- 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
- Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap or in a resealable bag. Pound the chicken to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Combine the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, flour, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.
- In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk (or water).
- Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, then dip in the egg wash, letting excess drip off.
- Press the chicken into the Parmesan mixture, coating both sides evenly.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C), lightly spray the basket with cooking spray.
- Place the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, then flip and cook for another 5-8 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
