Air Fryer Parmesan Crusted Chicken

Step 1

Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F.

Step 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.

Step 3

In a small bowl, stir together the mayo and minced garlic. Spread the garlic mayo all over the chicken breasts.

Step 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.

Step 5

Coat the air fryer basket with olive oil spray. (Do not use PAM, it can damage some baskets.)

Step 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. (Repeat as needed, you don't want to overcrowd the basket.)

Step 7

Remove chicken and serve warm with extra Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley for garnish.
