I often make this recipe in advance for the week. It stores well and tastes just as good when reheated. You can pair it with rice, veggies, or pasta.

🍗 Ingredients

Here’s what you need:

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (pound them flat)
• 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp white vinegar
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp dried oregano
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• Salt and pepper (to taste)

🧑‍🍳 Instructions

1. Mix the Marinade
   In a bowl, mix Parmesan cheese, vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, and all the seasonings.
2. Prep the Chicken
   Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the chicken so it’s even and tender. Coat each piece well in the marinade.
3. Cook in the Air Fryer
   Spray your air fryer basket with non-stick spray. Place chicken in a single layer (don’t stack!).
   Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 12 minutes.
4. Let It Rest
   Let the chicken rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Then enjoy!

🍽️ Serving Ideas

You can eat this chicken with:

• White rice and sautéed vegetables (like broccoli or carrots)
• Pasta with red or cream sauce
• Or slice it over a salad for a light meal

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Servings

This recipe makes 3 to 4 servings. You can double or triple the recipe, but only cook 1 lb of chicken at a time to make sure it cooks evenly.

🔥 No Air Fryer? No Problem!

You can bake it in the oven instead:
Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 25 minutes, or until the inside of the chicken is 165°F (75°C).
