Air Fryer Breaded Chicken
Air fryer breaded chicken is easy to make, uses less oil, and stays juicy and tender. It’s the perfect under-30-minute weeknight dinner to add to your rotation!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 (6-ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast sliced thinly
- ⅓ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 390°F.
- In a medium bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with oregano, paprika, and garlic powder until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spray the chicken with cooking spray, then dredge in the breadcrumbs mixture. Shake off excess breading. Repeat for the remaining chicken.
- Spray the air fryer pan with cooking spray. Then spray the outside of the breaded chicken with cooking spray. Place the chicken in the basket of the air fryer, without over crowding the pan. You may need to work in batches.
- Cook for 10-12 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown. Cook time will depend on the size and thickness of the chicken breasts.
- Remove and enjoy immediately.

Notes
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 3-4 days in the fridge. To reheat, just place in the air fryer at 360°F for 2-3 minutes until heated through and crispy. You can also reheat the chicken in the microwave but it won't be as crispy!
To Freeze: Let the cooked chicken cool completely, then freeze in a single layer on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer-safe bag. Reheat directly from frozen in the air fryer at 360°F for 5 to 7 minutes.
My Top Tip: Don't overcrowd the basket. Leave space between each piece so the hot air can circulate around them. Overlapping pieces steam instead of crisp. Cook in batches if needed.
