EASY AIR FRYER CHICKEN BREAST

Steps:

• Place the chicken breast on a cutting board and using a sharp knife, cut each breast in half lengthwise (see notes) resulting in 4 chicken cutlets.
• In a small bowl, mix the seasonings in with the oil and spread the mixture on top of each chicken breast cutlet.
• Place in the air fryer and cook at 370F for 10-15 minutes. Check after 10 minutes for doneness with an internal meat thermometer. Should be 165F. Continue cooking until temperature reached.
• Remove from air fryer and serve.

AIR FRYER FRIED CHICKEN BREAST

Steps:

• Cut each chicken breast in half lengthwise so that you have 6 long, narrow pieces total. Pound each piece to an even 1/2-inch thickness (I like to stretch a piece of plastic wrap over the top first to keep things tidy). Place the pounded chicken in a bowl.
• Drizzle the chicken with the olive oil and toss to coat.
• In a wide, shallow bowl (a pie dish works well), combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs, Parmesan, paprika, garlic powder, thyme, cayenne pepper, and salt until evenly blended.
• Coat each chicken breast in the breadcrumb mixture, patting as necessary so that it adheres.
• Preheat your air fryer to 390 degrees F. Coat the basket with nonstick spray, then arrange the chicken in the basket in a single layer (you will likely need to cook the chicken in two batches. If desired, keep the first batch warm in a 250 degree F oven while you finish the second).
• Air fry the breaded chicken breast on the first side for 4 minutes. Slide out the basket, flip the chicken, then continue cooking for 2 to 5 additional minutes, depending upon the size of your chicken and your air fryer model. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F and the crumbs should look golden brown (I typically remove my chicken at 160 degrees F, as the temperature will continue to rise as it rests). Enjoy hot.
