  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined.

  5. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, then dip into eggs, and finally coat with Parmesan-panko mixture.
  6. Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and place the chicken breasts inside. Spray the tops with more cooking spray.
  7. Cook in the air fryer for 6 minutes, flip, then cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165F.
  8. Remove the chicken and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with extra Parmesan and lemon wedges if desired.

Notes

This crispy air fryer chicken is a healthier alternative to traditional fried chicken but remains just as flavorful.
