Air Fryer Chicken Cutlets

• servings: 8 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 19 minutes

Ingredients

4 chicken breasts (boneless and skinless)

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

3 large eggs

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 cups panko bread crumbs

6 tablespoons parmesan cheese

2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

Directions

Preheat the air fryer to 200C/400F.

Slice each chicken breast lengthways until you have 8 thin fillets.

Place a sheet of plastic wrap on a chopping board, add two chicken fillets, then add another sheet of plastic wrap. Pound the chicken until around 1/4 inch in thickness. Repeat the process with all the chicken.

Add the flour to one bowl, beaten eggs to another bowl, and in the final bowl, the panko, parmesan cheese, and Italian seasonings.

Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper. Moving quickly, dip each chicken fillet in the flour, shake off excess, followed by the eggs, shake off any excess, then to the panko parmesan mix, ensuring all sides are well coated.

Place a single layer of the breaded chicken cutlets in a greased air fryer basket. Spray the chicken cutlets, then air fry for 8 minutes, flip, spray more oil, then cook for another 6-8 minutes, until golden and crispy. You can also check the internal temperature and ensure it reaches 165F.

Remove the chicken cutlets from the air fryer and serve with fresh lemon.
