Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • 1 Lb Chicken breast
  • 2 tsp Olive oil
  • Salt
  • 1/2 Cup Panko (GF if needed)
  • 2 tsp Seasoning salt
  • 2 tsp Paprika
  • 2 tsp Ground mustard powder
  • 2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 2 tsp Onion powder

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees.
  • Place the chicken breast between two layers of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin or meat mallet to gentle press the chicken so it's an even width throughout. Dry the chicken breasts off with paper towel.
  • Pour the oil onto the chicken (I do this right on the parchment) and rub all over, coating it equally. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
  • Combine the rest of the ingredients in a small bowl, shaking together. Pour onto a large rimmed plate.
  • Cover each of the chicken breasts well with the panko mixture, and then place onto the mesh basket of your air fryer, making sure to leave room between the breasts - they would not be touching.
  • Spray the tops of the chicken with cooking spray and cook 8 minutes. Gently flip and cook another 6-8 minutes until the chicken is crispy and golden and an instant read thermometer reads 165 degrees Fahrenheit inserted into the chicken
  • DEVOUR! (Great with ketchup!)
