Finicky Friday - Air Fryer Chicken Breast

Chicken breasts have a terrible reputation for drying out, but an air fryer keeps that from happening. The quick cook time means they stay nice and tender and the breading still gets extra crispy. All without a drop of oil. It's an actual miracle.

(I haven't tried this yet, but I plan to.)

YIELDS: 2 SERVINGS
PREP TIME: 0 HOURS 10 MINS
TOTAL TIME: 0 HOURS 30 MINS



INGREDIENTS

1 large egg, beaten

1/4 c. all-purpose flour

3/4 c. panko bread crumbs

1/3 c. freshly grated Parmesan

2 tsp. lemon zest

1 tsp. dried oregano

1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts

DIRECTIONS

Place eggs and flour in two separate shallow bowls. In a third shallow bowl, combine panko, Parmesan, lemon zest, oregano, and cayenne. Season with salt and pepper.

Working one at a time, dip chicken into flour, then eggs, and then panko mixture, pressing to coat.

Place in air fryer basket and cook at 375° for 10 minutes. Flip chicken, and cook for another 5 minutes, until coating is golden and chicken is cooked through.
