Preparing your Crispy Air Fryer Parmesan Crusted Chicken can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
2. Prepare Chicken: Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
3. Set Up Breading Station: In one bowl, whisk eggs. In a second bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper.
4. Coat Chicken: Dip each chicken breast first in the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Then coat in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
5. Spray with Olive Oil: Lightly spray both sides of the breaded chicken with olive oil to promote crispiness.
6. Place in Air Fryer: Arrange the coated chicken breasts in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overlapping for even cooking.
7. Cook: Air fry for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through until the chicken is golden and crispy, and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
8. Let Rest: Once cooked, allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing into it to maintain juiciness.

This straightforward approach ensures you will have perfectly cooked and crispy chicken every time!
