Description

Delicious and crispy Air Fryer Parmesan Crusted Chicken recipe that’s easy to make and perfect for a quick dinner.


Ingredients

Units Scale

Chicken:

  • 2 Boneless skinless chicken breast (68 ounces each)

Coating:

  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1/4 cup Italian Style Panko Crumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Coat the Chicken: Coat each piece of chicken with one tablespoon of sour cream or Greek yogurt, only covering the tops of the chicken.
  3. Prepare the Coating: In a medium bowl, combine the panko, parmesan cheese, and seasonings. Pat the cheese mixture into the sour cream-coated chicken.
  4. Oil the Basket: Lightly spray or brush the olive oil onto the air fryer basket.
  5. Air Fry: Place the chicken into the basket and air fry at 380 degrees F for 12 minutes. Turn the chicken over and continue to air fry for an additional 4-6 minutes until crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.

Notes

  • Depending on the thickness of your chicken, they can cook unevenly. If your chicken breasts have different thickness, you can pound them until they are even.
  • If you are making more than two pieces of chicken, be sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
