How To Make Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Chicken Breast

Panko Bread Mixture in Bowl

Start by cutting your breasts in half, and then use a mallet to thin your chicken. It will come out better if it’s thinner in the air fryer. Then in a small bowl, mix the herbs and panko breadcrumbs.

Add the mayonnaise to a resealable bag. Then place your chicken inside the bag, coating it on both sides.

Coat Chicken with mayo

Then dip your coated chicken in the panko/herb bread crumb mix. As you coat them, place them in either a greased (with olive oil) basket or air fryer tray.

The crucial step–if you want really crispy chicken, you must spray the entire coating with olive oil.

In a small mixing bowl, mix together the butter and minced garlic.

Set the temperature to 370 degrees F for 7 minutes. After 7 minutes, flip the chicken and air fry for another 5 minutes. Check the internal temperature after this, and make sure it’s at least 165 degrees F.

Then add the shredded Parmesan cheese and top the cheese with the garlic butter. Set into the air fryer for 2 to 3 minutes, just enough for the cheese to start to melt as well as the butter.

What Other Chicken Breast Can I Use For This Recipe?

The time of the chicken will change, based on the cut of the meat.
