Instructions
- Combine your mayonnaise and seasonings in a small bowl.

- In a rectangular dish, combine the parmesan cheese and panko crumbs.
- Lay one chicken breast at a time in your cheese and panko, patting the chicken until it is completely coated. Lift the breast out and shake any loose breading off.
- Continue until all of the chicken is coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 360 degrees F. Spray the inside of your basket.
- Two breasts at a time, lay your chicken down, matching the thickness as close as you can for even cooking.
- Cook for 8 minutes and then carefully flip for an additional 4-6 minutes.
Serve with your favorite sides, and enjoy!
Notes
Simply slice a chicken breast in half lengthwise and use a tenderizer to pound it as thin as you like.
Make sure the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
You may need to adjust the cooking time for the thickness of the chicken breasts.
