This crusting takes chicken from drab to fab! With less than 8 ingredients it's also fast to prepare! I use seasonings from the Savory Spice Shop®, however you can use Italian seasoning in place of the cantanzaro herbs.

👨‍🍳 Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Mix together egg, pesto, and salt in a shallow dish.

In a separate dish mix together cornflake crumbs, Parmesan cheese, cantanzaro herbs, garlic, and salt.

Dip each piece of chicken piece first in egg wash, then dredge through the cornflake mixture, shaking off excess breading.

Place chicken pieces in the air fryer basket.

Air fry for 5 minutes, rearrange chicken pieces, and fry until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes more.
