Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- Olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the chicken breasts into strips that are about 1-inch wide.
In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
In a shallow dish, mix the gluten-free breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
In a separate shallow dish, beat the eggs and mix with the milk.
Season the chicken strips with the spice mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
Dip each chicken strip into the egg mixture, then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the crumbs.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil cooking spray.
Place the breaded chicken strips in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd. You may need to cook in batches.
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken strips with olive oil cooking spray to aid in crisping.
Cook for 10 minutes, then flip the chicken strips and cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
