Ingredients
Scale
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced horizontally to make 4 fillets
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- Salt, to taste
- Fresh oregano or parsley leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (199°C). Place the chicken fillets on a cutting board, cover with plastic wrap, and pound to an even thickness using a rolling pin or meat tenderizer.
- In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, minced garlic, onion powder, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Spread this mixture evenly over each chicken fillet.
- In a shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese. Dredge each fillet in the mixture, pressing to coat thoroughly.
- Place the coated fillets in the air fryer basket and cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Garnish with fresh oregano or parsley leaves and serve immediately.
