Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts,
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated or shredded
- 8 ounces fettuccine pasta, cooked (for serving)--optional
- 1 cup alfredo sauce, prepared (for serving)--optional
Instructions
- Start by pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness, then season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
- Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip it in the eggs, and then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Spray the air fryer basket with a little oil, then place the breaded chicken breasts inside. Spray the tops of the chicken with a little more oil to help them crisp up. Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden and crispy, and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Once the chicken is done, serve it with your favorite pasta and sauce for a delicious copycat Olive Garden Chicken Fritta meal!
