🥘 Ingredients
Chicken
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each, pounded even)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing)
Herb Crust
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme (leaves only)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper (freshly ground)
Assembly
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (for brushing)
Serving
  • 1 lemon (cut into wedges)
📝 Instructions
  1. Pound chicken to even 3/4-inch thickness between plastic wrap. Shared 💡 Even thickness = even cooking. No dry thin ends.
  2. Mix Parmesan, panko, rosemary, thyme, garlic, salt, pepper in shallow dish. Shared 💡 Fresh herbs make a huge difference — do not use dried.
  3. Brush chicken with Dijon mustard, press herb-Parmesan onto both sides. Shared 💡 Mustard acts as glue AND adds tangy depth.
  4. Preheat Ninja on Air Fry at 375°F. Brush basket with oil. Shared 💡 Oil the pan to prevent sticking.
  5. Place chicken in pan. Air Fry 375°F for 9 min, flip carefully, 9 more. Top Oven 💡 Flip with spatula — tongs can tear the crust.
  6. Chicken done at 165°F internal. Rest 5 minutes before slicing. Shared 💡 Resting redistributes juices — slice against the grain.
  7. Squeeze fresh lemon over top and serve. Shared 💡 Lemon brightens the herb flavors beautifully.
💡 Ninja Tips

Pound breasts to even thickness. Mustard makes crust stick and adds flavor. 165°F internal — use thermometer. Rest 5 min. Fresh herbs are worth it.

Scaling: Double: Two batches. Half: 2 breasts; time same if thickness uniform.
