Ingredients
- 2.2 lb chicken breast
- 4 tablespoons breadcrumbs
- 1.1 oz grated Parmesan (or Grana Padano)
- to taste roast seasonings (with salt)
- to taste smoked paprika (or sweet paprika)
- to taste extra virgin olive oil
Tools
- Air fryer
- Bowl
Preparation
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, place them in a bowl, add a good drizzle of oil, the breadcrumbs, the spices and the cheese, mix everything with a spoon and arrange in the air fryer basket.
Cook for 15 minutes at 392°F, tossing them gently halfway through cooking, either by shaking the basket or carefully turning them.
Remove from the fryer when the chicken has formed a nice golden, crispy crust and serve hot.
If you don’t have an air fryer, bake in a preheated convection oven at 392°F for 20 minutes, turning halfway through cooking.
I recommend preparing only the amount of chicken you plan to eat, because it’s much better right out of the fryer. If you have leftovers, store them in the fridge in a well-sealed airtight container and reheat in the air fryer shortly before serving.
