Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the breading station: In a shallow bowl, place the beaten egg. Add flour to another bowl. In a third bowl, combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, flax seed meal, lemon zest, oregano, cayenne, salt, and pepper. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Coat the chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the flour, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, submerge it in the beaten egg, followed by a generous coating of the bread crumb mixture. Ensure both sides are evenly covered. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Air fry the chicken: Carefully place the coated chicken breasts into the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Cook to perfection: Set the air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Cook the chicken breasts for 10 minutes. Turn them over and continue cooking until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork, about 5 more minutes. The coating should be golden brown, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (15 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, try marinating the chicken breasts in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic powder for at least 30 minutes before breading.
To ensure even cooking, make sure the chicken breasts are flattened to an even thickness.
If you prefer a gluten-free option, substitute the all-purpose flour and bread crumbs with gluten-free alternatives.
