Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 360°F (180°C).
- In one bowl, place the flour. In another bowl, mix the eggs. In a third bowl, combine the bread crumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Coat each chicken breast in the flour, then dip it into the eggs, and finally coat it with the bread crumb mixture.
- Place the coated chicken breasts in the air fryer basket and cook for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
