Air Fryer Chicken Tenderloins recipe


  • Author: Sophia

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 lb chicken tenderloins
  • 1.5 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp grated cheese like parmesan
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 0.5 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken:

    • In a large bowl, combine the chicken tenderloins, olive oil, grated cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, onion powder, paprika, and salt.
    • Mix well until the chicken is fully coated with the oil and spices, ensuring an even distribution of flavors.

  2. Preheat the Air Fryer:

    • Set the air fryer to 375°F and preheat it for 3 minutes. Preheating ensures that the chicken cooks evenly and achieves a crispy texture.

  3. Cook the Chicken:

    • Place the seasoned chicken tenderloins in the air fryer basket, making sure they’re in a single layer for even cooking.
    • Cook for 4 minutes, then flip the tenderloins and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
    • Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

  4. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Once cooked, remove the chicken tenderloins from the air fryer and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
    • Serve hot, accompanied by your favorite sides or dipping sauces.
