Ingredients
- 1 pound (450g) chicken breast, cut into strips
- 1 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg, beaten
- Cooking spray, for air-frying
Method
- Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F).
- In a bowl, mix whole wheat breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Dip each chicken strip into the beaten egg, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
- Arrange the chicken tenders in a single layer in the air fryer basket and lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Pro tips for maximum crisp
- For extra crispiness, let the coated chicken strips rest for 10 minutes before air-frying.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in the air fryer for best results.
- Try adding different spices or herbs to the breadcrumb mixture for unique flavor variations.
