Ingredients
- 1 pound skinless chicken breasts
- 1/3 cup breadcrumbs See notes.
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 egg
- cooking oil spray
Instructions
- Combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian Seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste in a bowl large enough to dredge the chicken breasts. Stir to combine.
- Place the egg in a bowl large enough to dip the chicken. Beat the egg.
- Dip the chicken in the egg and then the breadcrumbs mixture.
- Spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil spray.
- Place in the breaded chicken breasts in the air fryer. Spray the top of the chicken with cooking oil.
- Cook for 12-15 minutes on 370 degrees or until the chicken has crisped and reached a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees. Use a meat thermometer. I don't flip the chicken, but you can if you wish around 10 minutes.
Notes
You can use any type of breadcrumbs you wish.
Cook time will vary greatly based on the air fryer you use and the size and width of your chicken breasts. Be sure to keep a close eye and use a meat thermometer to test. Thicker chicken will require longer cook times.
You can also use bone-in chicken breasts or thighs. Bone-in chicken usually has an additional cook time of around 5 minutes.
