Ingredients
- 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup seasoned Panko bread crumbs
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese grated
- ½ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon pepper
- Olive oil spray
- Fresh parsley finely chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F.
- 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.
-
In a small bowl, stir together the mayo and minced garlic. Spread the garlic mayo all over the chicken breasts.
- 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.
- Coat the air fryer basket with olive oil spray. (Do not use PAM, it can damage some baskets.)
- 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.)
- Remove chicken and serve warm with extra Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley for garnish.
