• Step 1: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a breading station with three shallow dishes: one for the flour, one for the beaten eggs, and one for the panko breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
• Step 2: Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, dip it in the beaten egg, and then coat it evenly with the seasoned panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to help the breading adhere.
• Step 3: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil or cooking spray. Carefully place the breaded chicken breasts in the basket, making sure they are not touching each other.
• Step 4: Air fry the chicken for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the breading is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
• Step 5: Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your perfectly crispy air fryer breaded chicken breasts!
