Description

A cozy and comforting dish featuring tender, juicy chicken breasts with a crispy, golden-brown coating, perfect for fall.


Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray or a little olive oil


Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken by patting it dry with paper towels. Cut breasts in half horizontally if too thick.
  2. Set up the breading station with three shallow bowls: Bowl 1 for flour seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder; Bowl 2 for beaten egg; Bowl 3 for breadcrumbs.
  3. Bread the chicken by dredging in flour, then dipping in egg, and finally coating with breadcrumbs.
  4. Air fry the chicken in a preheated air fryer at 380°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Notes

Check for doneness with a meat thermometer. Preheating the air fryer is crucial for the crispy exterior.
