Mix freshly grated Parmesan cheese with panko breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl until well blended.

Place breaded chicken breasts in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, leaving space between each piece. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil spray. Cook at 190°C for 12 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 74°C.
