Description

Air Fryer Herb Crusted Chicken Breasts -- If you love crispy chicken but don't want to fry it, then try the air fryer. The Air Fryer Herb Crusted Chicken Breasts recipe is quick and easy, with a savory crust perfect for any meal.

Ingredients 

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts,
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup Panko bread crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon dried basil
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • 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, mix the panko bread crumbs, basil, parsley, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  • Add the mayonnaise and lemon juice to a resealable bag.
  • Then place your chicken inside the bag, coating it on both sides.
  • Then dip your coated chicken in the bread crumb mix.
  • As you coat them, place them in either a greased (with olive oil) basket or air fryer tray.
  • The crucial step is to spray the entire coating with olive oil if you want crispy chicken.
  • 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.
  • Plate, serve and enjoy!

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
