• 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 egg, and then coat it evenly with the seasoned breadcrumbs, pressing gently to help the coating adhere.
• Step 3: Place the breaded chicken breasts in a single layer in the air fryer basket, being careful not to overcrowd. Work in batches if necessary.
• Step 4: Air fry the chicken for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the coating is crispy and golden brown.
• Step 5: Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
