Components
Let’s start by assembling all the necessities. What you’ll need is as follows:
- Four skinless and boneless chicken breasts
- One cup of panko breadcrumbs
- and one cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- one tsp powdered garlic
- One tsp powdered onion
- One tsp of paprika
- Half a teaspoon of salt
- half a teaspoon of pepper, black
- Two big eggs
- One tablespoon of water
- Olive oil or cooking spray
- Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
- slices of lemon (for serving)
Detailed Directions
Step 1: Get the Chicken Ready
- Trim and Pound: To begin, trim the chicken breasts of any extra fat. To ensure uniform cooking, sandwich each breast between two plastic wrap sheets and use a meat mallet to gently pound it until it reaches a thickness of approximately 1/2 inch.
- Season the Chicken: Sprinkle salt and black pepper on both sides of the chicken breasts. The taste of the meat can only be improved by using this first coat of spice.
Step 2: Establishing the Breading Station
- A dry mixture Grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder should all be combined in a small basin. Blend well until all the components are dispersed equally.
- Wet Mixture: Beat the eggs with a tablespoon of water in a separate bowl. This will be beneficial. The chicken is coated with breading.
Step 3: Coat and Bread the Chicken:
- Make sure every chicken breast is completely covered by dipping it into the egg mixture. Before putting the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture, let any extra egg drop off.
- Make sure the chicken is well covered with breadcrumbs by pressing them into it. Continue doing this with each and every chicken breast.
Step 4: Get the Air Fryer Ready
- Warm up: Start the air fryer at 375°F, or 190°C. By preheating the fryer, you can guarantee that the chicken will begin to cook as soon as it enters, resulting in a deliciously crispy surface.
- Organize the Chicken: Cooking spray should be used sparingly on the air fryer basket. Put the chicken breasts in the basket in a single layer. Don’t crowd the pan; cook in batches if needed.
Step 5: Preparing food The Fowl
- First Half: Bake for 10 minutes at 375°F on the chicken. Using tongs, carefully turn the chicken breasts over after the first 10 minutes, and then lightly mist the tops with cooking spray.
- Second Half: Cook for a further five to seven minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is crispy and golden brown, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step6: Last-Minute Details
- Remain still and garnish: After cooking, move the chicken to a platter and give it some time to rest. As a result, the meat retains its moisture and taste and the liquids are able to redistribute throughout it. Add some freshly cut parsley as a garnish.
- Present: Present the Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Chicken alongside wedges of lemon. Just before serving, lightly pour some lemon juice over the chicken. Eating brings a lovely freshness to counterbalance the deep tastes.
