Take chicken out of fridge and set on counter while preparing flour mixture.
In a shallow plate combine flour, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Preheat Air Fryer to 390˚F.
Line Air Fryer basket with parchment paper (optional).
Remove chicken breasts from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off.
Dredge chicken in the flour mixture, shaking any excess off.
Place a single layer of chicken breasts in the basket, with space in between the pieces. I cook 2 to 3 chicken breasts at a time.
Spray with cooking spray and air fry for 10 minutes.
Open the air fryer basket and flip over the chicken pieces; spray with cooking spray, and continue to cook for 10 to 12 more minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and an instant read thermometer registers at 165˚F.
