Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts sliced in half lengthwise.
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 Tablespoons mustard Dijon or yellow mustard
- 1 cup Panko bread crumbs or Pork Panko for a low-carb version
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Prep the Chicken: Pat chicken dry with a paper towel. Slice the chicken breast in half lengthwise, so you get four ½ inch to ¾ inch thick chicken breasts. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Make the Mayo-Mustard Coating:Â In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and Dijon (or yellow) mustard until well combined. Spread a thin layer of this mixture evenly over each chicken breast. This helps the panko stick while adding flavor and moisture.
- Coat with Panko Mixture:Â In a separate bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs with additional seasonings (and Parmesan, if using). Press each mayo-mustard-coated chicken breast into the panko mixture, ensuring an even coating on all sides.
- Air fry: Preheat air fryer to 390°F (195°C) for a few minutes. Arrange breaded chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket (don’t overcrowd). Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let the chicken rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Notes:
Variations & Substitutions
