- Prepare chicken for air fryer: dip the chicken in flour, next the egg, then the panko mixture. Make sure to get both sides.
- Spray air fryer basket with oil. Place chicken in the air fryer (Make sure there is enough room between the chicken that air can flow through). Spray the top of chicken with oil.

- Cook in the air fryer for an additional 3 minutes at 380°F/190°C, or until the cheese is melted.
