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 to create a rich and savory spice blend.
  2. Season the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Evenly season all sides of the chicken with the prepared spice mixture to ensure every bite is flavorful.
  3. Prepare the Parmesan Mixture: In a separate small bowl, mix the dill pickle ranch dressing with ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese until well combined. Spread this creamy, tangy mixture evenly over the top of each seasoned chicken breast.
  4. Add the Breadcrumb Topping: In a third bowl, combine the remaining ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese with the plain breadcrumbs. Sprinkle this breadcrumb mixture evenly over each piece of chicken to form a crispy and flavorful topping.
  5. Air-Fry the Chicken: Place the coated chicken breasts in a single layer inside the basket of your air fryer. Avoid overcrowding; cook in batches if needed. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, checking at 8 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Rest and Garnish: Carefully remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped dill and drizzle with additional dill pickle ranch dressing before serving.

Notes

  • Oven Instructions: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish or sheet pan with cooking spray. Place the seasoned and coated chicken breasts evenly in the dish. Bake for 20-22 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). For extra crispiness, broil on high for the last 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve with roasted vegetables, a fresh green salad, or creamy mashed potatoes for a well-rounded meal.
