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
- Prepare the chicken by patting it dry with paper towels. Cut breasts in half horizontally if too thick.
- 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.
- Bread the chicken by dredging in flour, then dipping in egg, and finally coating with breadcrumbs.
- 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.
