1. First, gather all the ingredients you'll need:
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Non-stick cooking spray
2. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
3. In a shallow dish, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
4. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the olive oil until well combined.
5. Take one piece of chicken breast and dip it into the egg mixture, making sure it's completely coated.
6. Next, roll the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere to the chicken.
7. Place the coated chicken in the preheated air fryer basket. Repeat the process with the remaining chicken pieces, making sure not to overcrowd the basket.
8. Lightly spray the coated chicken pieces with non-stick cooking spray. This will help them turn golden and crispy.
9. Cook the chicken in the air fryer for 10-12 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
10. Once cooked, carefully remove the popcorn chicken from the air fryer and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
11. Serve the gluten-free air-fryer popcorn chicken with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or barbecue sauce.

Enjoy your homemade gluten-free air-fryer popcorn chicken!
