Ingredients

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts cubed
  • 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon dried basil
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup salted butter melted

Instructions

  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, basil, oregano, and salt.
  • Dip the chicken pieces in the melted butter, then transfer them to the bread crumb mixture to coat. Place the coated chicken pieces on a plate or pan.
  • Preheat an air fryer to 390-400°F. Carefully place the coated chicken pieces in the air fryer, making sure to leave space between each one. If necessary, cook the chicken in batches.
  • Spray the chicken with cooking oil.
  • Bake the chicken for 8-9 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are cooked through and no longer pink in the middle or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Serve and enjoy!
