Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • Olive oil spray

Method
 

  1. In a shallow bowl, combine Parmesan, panko, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  2. Pound chicken to ½-inch thickness. Spread mayonnaise on both sides of each breast, then press firmly into the coating mixture to cover completely.
  3. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange chicken in a single layer, spray generously with oil, and air fry for 10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through (165°F internal).
  4. Let rest 2 minutes, then slice and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

For extra crunch, mist the coating well with oil before and after flipping. Leftovers reheat nicely in the air fryer at 350°F for a couple of minutes.
