Description

Herb Parmesan Chicken is a quick and flavorful dish featuring tender chicken breasts coated in a savory marinade of mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, and herbs, then perfectly cooked in an air fryer for a crispy finish in just 25 minutes.

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Marinade

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry thoroughly using paper towels to remove any excess moisture, ensuring the marinade adheres well.
  2. Make the marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, garlic powder, dried oregano, and black pepper. Mix well until fully incorporated.
  3. Coat the chicken: Thoroughly coat each chicken breast with the prepared marinade, making sure every part is covered for maximum flavor.
  4. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat to ensure even cooking.
  5. Air fry the chicken: Place the coated chicken breasts in the air fryer basket and cook for 12 to 15 minutes. Flip the chicken halfway through cooking to ensure both sides are evenly cooked. Check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) to confirm doneness.
  6. Rest the chicken: Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist and tender.
  7. Serve: Slice the chicken breasts and arrange them on a platter. Serve with your favorite side dishes for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.
  • For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket.
  • Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Feel free to substitute dried oregano with other dried herbs like thyme or basil for variation.
  • Lemon zest adds brightness; avoid grating the white pith to prevent bitterness.
