Air Fryer Ranch Crusted Chicken is a delicious and easy dinner idea that combines juicy chicken breasts with a flavorful ranch crust, cooked to perfection in an air fryer for a crispy exterior and moist interior.


Ingredients

  • 🍗 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts: 2 pieces
  • 🥫 Mayonnaise: ½ cup
  • 🧀 Grated Parmesan cheese: ½ cup

  3. Coat the chicken breasts generously with the ranch crust mixture.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
