Coating the Chicken:
- In a shallow dish, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
- Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, then dredge them in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating to the chicken.
Air Frying the Chicken:
- Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Place the coated chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not touching each other.
- Spray the tops of the chicken breasts with cooking spray to help them crisp up.
- Cook the chicken in the preheated air fryer for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
