Hey there, foodies! Let me tell you about my absolute favorite air fryer recipe that’s been driving my family crazy (in the best way possible). This crispy, juicy garlic-parmesan crusted chicken breast is basically what dreams are made of, and trust me, it’s way easier than it sounds!
Y’all know I’m all about making cooking fun and stress-free, and this recipe is perfect for those nights when you want to feel fancy without spending hours in the kitchen. I literally discovered this by accident when I was trying to impress my mother-in-law (we’ve all been there, right? 😅).
What You’ll Need:
– 2 large chicken breasts
– 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan (none of that pre-grated stuff, ladies!)
– 3 cloves garlic, minced (or 5 if you’re like me and believe there’s no such thing as too much garlic)
– 1/4 cup melted butter
– 1 tsp Italian seasoning
– Salt and pepper to taste
– A sprinkle of paprika for that gorgeous color
Before we dive in, if you’re loving this recipe already, make sure to follow me on Newsbreak for daily recipes that’ll make your family think you secretly attended culinary school! 😉
Instructions:
1. Pat those chicken breasts dry (nobody likes soggy chicken, am I right?)
2. Mix your Parmesan, garlic, melted butter, and seasonings in a bowl
3. Coat each chicken breast generously with your mixture (don’t be shy!)
4. Place them in your air fryer basket (no overlapping, they need their personal space)
5. Cook at 375°F for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through
Pro tip: Use a meat thermometer to check that internal temperature hits 165°F. Nothing ruins a dinner party quite like food poisoning! 🤢
The best part? When you cut into that chicken, it’s like a flavor explosion! The outside is perfectly crispy while the inside stays super juicy. My husband literally does a happy dance every time I make this (it’s adorable but don’t tell him I told you 😂).
If you’re feeling extra fancy, serve it with some roasted asparagus or a light salad. Though honestly, I’ve definitely eaten this standing over my kitchen counter because it smelled too good to wait for a proper plate setup!
