How to prepare air fryer breaded chicken breast
Let’s start preparing the Air fryer breaded chicken breast by removing any fat and small bones from the chicken breast, then cut it into nuggets. Pour breadcrumbs into a plate, finely chop the rosemary leaves and sage leaves, add the chopped herbs to the breadcrumbs, and mix.
Crack the eggs, pour them into a shallow plate, and beat with a fork. Dip the chicken nuggets in the beaten egg, then in the breadcrumbs, then again in the beaten egg, and lastly, again in the breadcrumbs.
Place a sheet of perforated parchment paper suitable for the air fryer in the basket and arrange the breaded chicken nuggets on top, spray them with oil using the sprayer.
Cook at 390°F (200°C) for 20 minutes; halfway through cooking, open the air fryer basket and turn the chicken nuggets to ensure even cooking.
When the Air fryer breaded chicken breast should be golden brown and well-cooked inside, remove the nuggets from the basket and serve hot.
