To make this chicken goodness, you'll need:

- ⅔ cup breadcrumbs (homemade or store-bought)
- ½ cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- salt and pepper

1. Cut the chicken breast into strips, about ¼ thick (refer to the photo below).
2. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. On a large plate, mix together the breadcrumbs and the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
4. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour and shake off the excess. After that, dip them into the egg mixture and, finally, dredge the chicken in the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture (make sure it's coated well).
5. Fry the chicken on medium heat, in a small amount of vegetable oil for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden and cooked through.
6. Garnish with lemon wedges and chopped parsley, if desired, and enjoy!

How could you convert this to cooking in an air fryer?
Hi Jen! I don't own an air fryer, so I can be sure, but I think you just place them into an air fryer instead of frying in the skillet. Let me know if you try these!
Very good and easy! I couldn’t stop eating one after the other. My kids loved them! I cut them up more like nuggets and they were delicious!
Thank you! I am glad you all enjoyed the recipe!
Just tried this recipe for the first time and it turned out perfect! Even my picky eaters loved it. I paired with roasted baby Dutch potatoes.
Sounds great! Thanks, Katherine!
Very , very good!! Thanks for the recipe!
