- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).

- In three shallow bowls, prepare the breading: mix flour with salt and pepper in the first, eggs in the second, and panko with Parmesan in the third.
- Dredge each chicken breast first in the flour, then dip in the egg, and finally coat with the panko mixture.

- Serve hot with your favorite sides.
