Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds), sliced in half horizontally

Seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Coating

  • 1/2 cup (120 g) dill pickle ranch dressing, plus more for serving
  • 1 cup (100 g) grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 3 tablespoons plain breadcrumbs

Garnish

  • Fresh dill, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the seasoning: In a small bowl, whisk together the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  2. Season the chicken: Evenly coat all sides of the chicken breasts with the prepared spice mixture.
  3. Make the dressing layer: In a separate small bowl, mix together the dill pickle ranch dressing and ½ cup of the grated Parmesan cheese. Spread this mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast.
  4. Create the breadcrumb topping: In a third bowl, combine the remaining Parmesan cheese with the plain breadcrumbs. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over each piece of chicken.
  5. Air fry the chicken: Place the chicken breasts into the basket of your air fryer, working in batches if necessary. Air fry at 375°F for 8-10 minutes, checking at 8 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  6. Rest the chicken: Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  7. Garnish and serve: Garnish the chicken with chopped fresh dill and a drizzle of dill pickle ranch dressing.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, you can mix in some crushed cornflakes with the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Adjust the seasoning to suit your taste preferences.
