Step 1

Preheat the air fryer to 375°F. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.

Step 2

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine chopped broccoli, shredded cheddar, mayonnaise, and minced garlic. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Divide the broccoli cheddar mixture among the chicken breasts, spreading it on top evenly.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs with melted butter and dried parsley. Sprinkle this mixture over the broccoli cheddar topped chicken breasts, pressing down slightly to adhere.

Step 6

Place the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the topping is golden brown.

Step 7

Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with your favorite sides.
