Description
Delightfully Crispy Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Crusted Chicken is a simple yet flavor-packed recipe that’s a guaranteed hit at the dinner table.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and paprika. Mix until well combined.
3. Generously spread the mayonnaise mixture over the top and sides of each chicken breast, ensuring they are fully covered.
4. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F for about 5 minutes.
5. Place the coated chicken breasts in the preheated air fryer basket. Cook at 375°F for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
6. Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
The mayonnaise in the coating helps keep the chicken moist and juicy.
Always check the internal temperature to ensure the chicken is cooked through.
Flipping the chicken halfway through ensures a crispy, golden-brown crust on all sides.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
