Bageliciousness ahead! The classic components of the everything bagel—sesame, poppy, onion and garlic—give this dish its character. Chicken breasts are coated in the spices, plus a sprinkling of Parmigiano Reggiano, over a layer of lemony mayo. They come out of the air fryer wonderfully crispy and cheesy—with less oil and less mess than traditional frying techniques. Rev up the energy with zesty-umami couscous salad, which gets intriguing texture from shaved Brussels sprouts and radishes.

Preparation
Prepare the chicken
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Lightly oil the basket. In a small pot (or kettle), bring 1 cup water (double for 4 portions) to a boil. Zest and juice the lemon. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel; season with S&P. In a shallow bowl, combine the panko, spices, ⅓ of the cheese and a drizzle of oil. In a second shallow bowl, combine the mayo, 1 tbsp of the lemon juice (double for 4 portions) and S&P. Working one at a time, coat the chicken in the mayo (letting any excess drip off), then in the panko (pressing to adhere).
Fry the chicken
Place the chicken* in the air fryer basket and lightly brush or spray with oil. Fry, lightly oiling halfway, 13 to 17 min., until cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; season with S&P.
Cook the couscous
Meanwhile, in a large heatproof bowl, combine the couscous and boiling water. Cover and let sit for 10 min. Fluff and keep warm.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, remove the root ends of the Brussels sprouts; halve lengthwise (quarter if large), then thinly slice crosswise. Halve the radishes lengthwise; thinly slice crosswise.
Make the couscous salad
In a large bowl, combine the lemon zest (start with ½), remaining lemon juice and cheese, and 3 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions). Add the couscous, Brussels sprouts, radishes and S&P; stir well.
Plate your dish
Divide the couscous salad between your plates. Top with the chicken (slice beforehand if desired). Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
