Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450g) skinless boneless chicken breasts halved crossways
  • ½ cup gluten-free breadcrumbs or regular
  • 4 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp ground coriander
  • salt optional
  • cooking spray

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 180C / 350F.
  2. Mix together breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, paprika, Italian Seasoning, ground coriander and salt in a bowl.
  3. Lightly spray both sides of the halved chicken breast with a calorie-controlled cooking spray.
  4. Cover both sides of the chicken breasts with the coating mix and place chicken breast in the air fryer basket. Make sure the chicken breasts are not touching. 
  5. Cook between 4-5 mins then flip over and cook for 4-5 mins on the next side. " Cooking times depending on the thickness of the breast so maybe a little more or a little less. Chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 75 C (165 F). 
  6. Air Fryers vary in their temperatures which is why I have added a cooking time range. When cooking this for the first time start with the lowest cooking times and adjust accordingly

Notes

  • Tips
  • Weight Watchers Points
  • There are just 2 Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of Air Fryer Chicken Breast.
  • Don’t overcrowd the fryer. Make sure the chicken breasts are not touching each other to allow for maximum air circulation so that they cook nice and evenly. I got between 2 and 3 breasts into my air fryer without touching. 
  • Don’t leave your chicken sitting in the coating for too long as it can go soggy. Coat both sides and then get it in the fryer ASAP.
  • Always check the internal temperature of your chicken breast. The meat is done and safe to eat when the internal temperature reaches at least 74C (165 F).
