Prepare the Seasoning Mixture
In a small bowl, whisk together the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. This spice blend adds a rich, savory flavor to the dish.
Season the Chicken
Pat the chicken breasts dry and season them evenly on all sides with the prepared spice mixture. This ensures every bite is flavorful.
Prepare the Parmesan Mixture
In a separate small bowl, mix together the dill pickle ranch dressing and 1/2 cup of the grated Parmesan cheese. Spread this creamy, tangy mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast.
Add the Breadcrumb Topping
In a third bowl, combine the remaining Parmesan cheese with the breadcrumbs. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over each piece of chicken to create a crispy, flavorful topping.
Air-Fry the Chicken
Place the coated chicken breasts into the basket of your air fryer in a single layer. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you might need to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Air fry at 375ºF for 8-10 minutes, checking at 8 minutes. Cook until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165ºF.
Rest and Garnish
Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped dill and a drizzle of dill pickle ranch dressing before serving.
