Certainly! Here's a recipe for breaded chicken cooked in an air fryer, serving two people:
Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Vegetable oil spray
Instructions:
1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for a few minutes.
2. In a shallow dish or plate, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
3. Set up a breading station with three separate dishes or bowls. Fill one dish with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with the breadcrumb mixture.
4. Take a chicken breast and coat it evenly with flour, shaking off any excess. Dip the flour-coated chicken breast into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Then place the chicken breast into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure even coating. Repeat the process with the remaining chicken breast.
5. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with vegetable oil spray to prevent sticking. Place the breaded chicken breasts in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
6. Cook the chicken in the air fryer for about 15-20 minutes, flipping the pieces halfway through the cooking time for even browning. The chicken should be golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
7. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help keep the chicken juicy.
8. Serve the breaded chicken hot with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a side salad, roasted vegetables, or mashed potatoes.
Enjoy your crispy and delicious breaded chicken cooked in the air fryer!
