Instructions

1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).

3. Brush the chicken breasts with Dijon mustard, ensuring they are evenly coated.
4. Dip the mustard-coated chicken breasts into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the mixture onto the chicken to ensure an even crust.

7. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and drizzle over the cooked chicken before serving.
