Description

A quick and easy recipe for crispy, flavorful chicken breasts, coated in a savory mayonnaise and parmesan crust, cooked in an air fryer for a healthier alternative to frying.


Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray


Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well blended.
  3. Coat both chicken breasts thoroughly with the mayonnaise mixture, ensuring each piece is well covered.
  4. Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the mayonnaise-coated chicken, pressing lightly to adhere.
  5. Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  6. Place the coated chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  7. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Once done, remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For added flavor, consider mixing in dried herbs with the parmesan before sprinkling. Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
