  • ¼ cup water or milk
  • 2 ½ ounces (about ⅔ cup) Spiced Up Garlic-Asiago Parmesan Breadcrumbs

  2. Marinate Chicken: Place chicken in a bowl and add water or milk.
  3. Breading: In a medium bowl,
  4. Bread Chicken: Dredge chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, coating evenly on all sides. Discard any remaining breading mix.
  5. Baking Method: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet. Place breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Air Fryer Method: Preheat Air Fryer to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray the Air Fryer basket with cooking spray. Place breaded chicken in a single layer in the Air Fryer basket, ensuring pieces aren't touching.
  7. Cooking:
  • Baking: Bake chicken for 12 -15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F).
  • Air Fryer: Cook chicken for 12 -15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F). Flip the chicken halfway through cooking for even browning.

Tips:

· For a thicker breading, repeat the dredging process twice, dipping the chicken back into the breadcrumb mixture after the initial coating.

· Leftover cooked chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
