Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds), sliced in half horizontally
  • 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 Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. This spice blend adds a rich, savory flavor to the dish.
  2. Season the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry and season them evenly on all sides with the prepared spice mixture. This ensures every bite is flavorful.
  3. Prepare the Parmesan Mixture: In a separate small bowl, mix together the dill pickle ranch dressing and ½ cup of the grated Parmesan cheese. Spread this creamy, tangy mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast.
  4. Add the Breadcrumb Topping: In a third bowl, combine the remaining Parmesan cheese with the breadcrumbs. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over each piece of chicken to create a crispy, flavorful topping.
  5. Air-Fry the Chicken: Place the coated chicken breasts into the basket of your air fryer in a single layer. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you might need to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Air fry at 375°F for 8-10 minutes, checking at 8 minutes. Cook until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
  6. Rest and Garnish: Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped dill and a drizzle of dill pickle ranch dressing before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure to slice the chicken breasts horizontally to ensure even cooking and tender pieces.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation and crispy coating.
  • Check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it reaches 165°F for safe consumption.
  • Fresh dill garnish complements the tangy flavors perfectly, but you can omit or substitute with parsley if preferred.
  • Serve immediately after resting for best texture and flavor.
