Step 1

Add your flour in one shallow bowl, your beaten egg in another shallow bowl and your breadcrumbs in another shallow bowl.

Step 2

Make sure your chicken fillets are completely dry, then dip into the flour, flip and add back in so both sides are coated. Shake off the excess flour.

Step 3

Dip both sides of the floured chicken into the eggs, make sure both sides are coated and then shake and drip off the excess egg.

Step 4

Next, place the chicken into the breadcrumbs, flip over to make sure both sides are well coated. Gently shake off the extra breadcrumbs (holding only the tip so you don’t dislodge too many breadcrumbs) and then transfer to a plate or lined baking tray.

Step 5

Repeat this process until all of the chicken is breaded.

Step 6

First, preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F / 180 degree C.

Step 7

Place breaded chicken breasts in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap.

Step 8

Cook the first side for 15-18 minutes, then check the meat for doneness. Turn over and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, depending on the size of chicken breasts.

Step 9

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F / 220 degrees C / fan-assisted 200 degrees C / gas 7.

Step 10

Add breaded chicken to a baking pan.

Step 11

Bake the chicken in the hot oven for up to 20-25 minutes.
