Parmesan crusted air fryer chicken tenders

Season the chicken fillets with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder, if desired.

Set up the breading station:

Plate 1: Flour

Plate 2: Beaten egg

Plate 3: Mix Parmesan and breadcrumbs thoroughly

Breading:
First coat the fillets in flour, then dip them in the egg, and then press them firmly into the Parmesan and breadcrumb mixture.

Prepare the air fryer:
Preheat to 180°C (if necessary). Lightly grease the basket or rack or line it with parchment paper (with holes!).

Cook:
Place the chicken fillets in the air fryer (do not overlap!) and lightly spray with oil.
Cook at 180°C for approximately 15–18 minutes – turning halfway through.
→ Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness: The meat should be cooked through but still juicy on the inside.

✅ Tip:
Serve with a crisp salad (e.g., your carrot salad with pineapple) or baked vegetables.

For even more flavor, you can refine the breading with Italian herbs.
