  In a separate dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.

  Lightly coat the breaded chicken on both sides with the avocado oil using a kitchen sprayer.

• 6

  Place the chicken in an air fryer basket and cook at 375°F for 12 to 14 minutes, flipping halfway through until the exterior is golden and crispy.
