We all know that chicken is a versatile meat that can be prepared in a ton of different ways - baked, roasted, fried, grilled - the list goes on. But have you ever tried making chicken in an air fryer? If not, then you're in for a treat! In this blog post, I'm going to share with you my recipe for air fryer chicken garlic Parmesan that is so delicious, your taste buds will be singing! Not only is it easy to make, but it's also a healthier alternative to traditional fried chicken. So, let's get cooking!
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (sliced in half lengthwise)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 eggs
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp dried parsley flakes
2 cloves garlic (minced)
Cooking spray
Steps for Air Fryer Chicken Garlic Parmesan
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow bowl, whisk the eggs.
In a third shallow bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, dried parsley flakes, and minced garlic.
Take each chicken breast half and coat it in the flour mixture, then dip it in the egg mixture, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Be sure to press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure it sticks.
Place the chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd it.
Spray the chicken with cooking spray.
Cook the chicken for 10-12 minutes, flipping it half way through cooking, until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
Pro Tips:
If you want to make this recipe even healthier, try using almond flour instead of all-purpose flour, and use whole wheat panko breadcrumbs.
If you don't have grated Parmesan cheese on hand, you can use shredded Parmesan cheese instead.
To give the chicken an even crispier coating, try spraying it with cooking spray a second time halfway through the cooking process.
And that's it! You now have a delicious and healthier version of garlic Parmesan chicken that is packed full of flavor. You can serve it with your favorite dipping sauce or over a bed of pasta or vegetables. I hope you enjoyed this recipe and feel inspired to try more air fryer recipes in the future. Bon appetit!
