Ingredients
2 large chicken breasts, halved to reduce thickness
5 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
3/4 cup Panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
Pinch of salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil spray
Instructions
In a bowl, mix together the Panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise and minced garlic until well blended.
Rinse the chicken breasts and pat dry with paper towels to remove any moisture. This helps the coating stick better.
Spread the garlic mayonnaise evenly over each piece of chicken. Then press the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture, coating it thoroughly.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil.
Arrange the coated chicken pieces in the basket without overlapping. Air fry for 6 to 7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.
