Preparation
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and herbs.
  3. Brush each chicken breast with olive oil.
  4. Coat the oiled chicken breasts with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing it onto the chicken.
  5. Place the coated chicken breasts in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching.
Cooking
  1. Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.

Press the breadcrumb mixture firmly onto the chicken for better adherence. Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; ensure proper air circulation. Additional spices or herbs can be added for more flavor.
