Air Fryer Parmesan Crusted Chicken Breast
A delightful dish featuring juicy chicken breasts enveloped in a crispy and cheesy crust, perfect for busy weeknights or family gatherings.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 16 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breasts About 4 chicken breasts
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt Adds moisture and tang
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese (grated) Aged parmesan adds flavor and creates a crust
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder Enhances aroma and flavor
- 1 1/2 teaspoons seasoning salt Enhances overall flavor
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper Adds warmth and a bit of spice
Instructions
Preparation
- In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, seasoning salt, and ground pepper. Mix well until smooth.
- Spread the yogurt mixture generously on both sides of each chicken breast.
- Remove the air fryer basket and spray it lightly with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Cooking
- Place the coated chicken breasts in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overcrowding.
- Set the air fryer to 380°F and cook for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer; it should reach at least 165°F.
Serving
- Transfer the cooked chicken to a clean plate and let it rest briefly before serving.
Notes
For extra crispiness, coat with more parmesan before air frying. Marinating for 30 minutes enhances flavor and tenderness. Ensure no overcrowding in the air fryer for even cooking.
