Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breast fillets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Season the chicken breast fillets with salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Set aside.
In a shallow bowl, mix the gluten-free breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese together.
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly.
Place the gluten-free all-purpose flour in a third shallow bowl.
Dredge each seasoned chicken fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Dip the floured chicken into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip off.
Finally, coat the chicken in the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture, pressing it down firmly to ensure the crumbs adhere.
Lightly spray the coated chicken with olive oil spray on both sides.
Place the chicken into the preheated air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
Cook the chicken in the air fryer for 10 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C).
Remove from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot with your favorite gluten-free dipping sauce or side.
