Drescription

These air-fryer breaded chicken breasts use a mixture of Dijon mustard and oil to help the breadcrumbs stick to the chicken. Keeping the chicken breasts at least 1/2 inch apart helps keep them crispy. If your air fryer is too small to cook all four chicken breasts at the same time, you can cook them in two batches. Serve these flavorful air-fried chicken breasts over salad or with your favorite dipping sauce.

Ingredients

  • 4 (4 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
  • ½ cup whole-wheat breadcrumbs or gluten-free breadcrumbs
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper

Directions

  1. Sprinkle all sides of chicken evenly with salt. Whisk oil and mustard together in a medium bowl until combined. Stir breadcrumbs, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder and pepper together in a shallow dish. Place the chicken in the oil mixture, turning to coat evenly; place in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere. Arrange the breaded chicken breasts at least 1/2 inch apart in the basket of an air fryer. Cook at 390°F until golden brown, about 6 minutes. Gently flip and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest portion of chicken registers 165°F, 5 to 6 minutes.
