Instructions
Prep the Chicken:
- Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, about 1-2 inches each.
Mix the Coating:
- In a bowl, mix together breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Dip the Chicken:
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Dip each chicken piece into the egg, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture.
Air Fry the Chicken:
- Preheat your air fryer for 3-5 minutes. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil. Arrange the coated chicken pieces in a single layer. Spray the chicken with a little more olive oil.
Cook:
- Air fry at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Chicken should be golden brown and crispy.
Serve:
- Remove from the air fryer and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- You can store leftovers in an airtight container for 2-3 days. Reheat in the air fryer to keep them crispy!
- If you need a gluten-free option, swap the breadcrumbs for gluten-free breadcrumbs.
- Serve with ranch, BBQ sauce, or honey mustard for dipping.
