- 1
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 5 minutes.

Combine the egg, whipping cream, and 1/2 of the salt in a bowl, then whisk until yellow and frothy.

In a separate shallow bowl, mix the panko, herbs, and the remaining salt until well combined.

Dip the chicken pieces first into the egg mixture, then into the panko, and place them in the air fryer basket.

Air-fry for 13 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes.
- 6
Spray with cooking spray and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Air-fry until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear and the Parmesan is melted, about 2 more minutes; an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
