Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup mayonnaise (or plain Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise (or yogurt), Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
  4. Spread the Parmesan mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast.
  5. Place chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping.
  6. Air fry for 18–20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the topping is golden and slightly crispy.
  7. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Use Greek yogurt instead of mayo for a lighter option.
  • Add Dijon mustard or fresh herbs like thyme for extra flavor.
  • Include cayenne or hot sauce for a spicy kick.
  • Chicken thighs can be used—adjust cook time as needed.
  • Bake at 375°F in the oven for 25–30 minutes if you don’t have an air fryer.
