Share:
Ingredients
- 12 ounces (340g) boneless skinless chicken breast 2 large chicken breasts
- ⅓ cup (43g) flour
- 1 large egg beaten
- 1 cup (108g) panko breadcrumbs (or regular or gluten-free bread crumbs)
- Optional seasonings (salt and pepper, homemade poultry seasoning, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, etc.)
Instructions
How To Bread Chicken
- Add your flour in one shallow bowl, your beaten egg in another shallow bowl and your breadcrumbs in another shallow bowl.
- Make sure your chicken fillets are completely dry, then dip into the flour, flip and add back in so both sides are coated. Shake off the excess flour.
- Dip both sides of the floured chicken into the eggs, make sure both sides are coated and then shake and drip off the excess egg.
- Next, place the chicken into the breadcrumbs, flip over to make sure both sides are well coated. Gently shake off the extra breadcrumbs (holding only the tip so you don’t dislodge too many breadcrumbs) and then transfer to a plate or lined baking tray.
- Repeat this process until all of the chicken is breaded.
How To Cook Breaded Chicken in the Air Fryer
- First, preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F / 180 degree C.
- Place breaded chicken breasts in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap.
- Cook the first side for 15-18 minutes, then check the meat for doneness. Turn over and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, depending on the size of chicken breasts.
How To Bake Breaded Chicken Breast
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F / 220 degrees C / fan-assisted 200 degrees C / gas 7.
- Add breaded chicken to a baking pan.
- Bake the chicken in the hot oven for up to 20-25 minutes.
Notes
- Air fryer temperatures can vary depending on the make and model, so it is important to always check your food for doneness.
- If you mistakenly get too much moisture into your flour or breadcrumbs on the plate, simply scoop that bit off the plate and respread the remaining flour/ breadcrumbs.
- If the whole breadcrumb or flour mixture gets too wet, you might want to discard and start fresh.
- Soak chicken in buttermilk for up to 24 hours before breading which will make sure that the chicken is nice and moist.
- Bring the chicken to room temperature before breading so you end up with nice crispy chicken.
- You can season both the egg and the breadcrumbs mixtures for extra flavor.
- You can bake, air fry, grill, or fry your chicken in a skillet.
- Use a spray bottle to spray on a tiny mist of oil before air frying or baking.
- Air fryer temperatures can vary depending on the make and model, so it is important to always check your food for doneness.
- When cooking chicken, always check the internal temperature using a meat thermometer to ensure it has reached a safe internal temperature of 165 degrees F/ 75 degrees.
- Storage - keep leftovers in an airtight container inside the fridge for 3 days.
- There are 3 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving.
