Breaded Air Fryer Chicken Tender
Ingredients
Chicken Marinade
▢1 lb chicken tenders
▢1/4 cup mayonnaise
▢1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
▢1 garlic clove
Breading mixture
▢1/2 tsp salt
▢1/8 tsp pepper
▢1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
▢1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
▢1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Make the marinade and add the chicken
Combine the 1/4 mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1 pressed garlic clove in a large bowl and place the 1 pound of chicken tenders inside. When pressing the garlic, I highly recommend using this grater. Its my favorite tool in my kitchen.
Toss the chicken around in the marinade. You can begin dredging the chicken tenders right away or let them marinate for a few hours or even overnight for the best flavor.
Dredge in bread crumb mixture
Now make the breading by combining 1/2 cup plain bread crumbs, 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
Then generously coat the chicken tenders in the breading mixture.
