Directions

Step 1

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

Season the chicken breast fillets with salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Set aside.

Place the gluten-free all-purpose flour in a third shallow bowl.

Step 6

Dredge each seasoned chicken fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 7

Dip the floured chicken into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip off.

Step 8

Finally, coat the chicken in the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture, pressing it down firmly to ensure the crumbs adhere.

Lightly spray the coated chicken with olive oil spray on both sides.

Step 10

Place the chicken into the preheated air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
