Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Pound the chicken breasts to even thickness if needed.
Rub olive oil on both sides of the chicken breasts.
In a shallow bowl, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Coat each chicken breast in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Place the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Air fry for 10 minutes, then flip and cook for another 6–8 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is fully cooked.
Spray a light mist of oil over the breaded chicken before cooking for extra crispiness.
Try different seasonings like Italian herbs or Cajun spice for variety.
