Air Fryer Chicken Cutlets Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts ((1½ pounds, 675g))
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups seasoned Panko breadcrumbs ((120g))

Steps

1. 1

   Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create 4 thin cutlets. If necessary, pound the cutlets out to be an even thickness (about ½-inch thick).

2. 2

   Season the cutlets on both sides with salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.

3. 3

   In a shallow bowl, place the flour. In another shallow bowl, whisk the eggs with 2 tablespoons of water. In a third shallow bowl, place the Panko breadcrumbs.

4. 4

   Dredge each chicken cutlet in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip them in the egg mixture, draining off the excess. Then, press them into the breadcrumbs to coat them completely.

5. 5

   Spray the basket of an air fryer with olive oil spray. Working in two batches, place two chicken cutlets in a single layer, leaving space between them. Spray the top of the cutlets with olive oil spray.

6. 6

   Air fry at 400°F for 8 minutes. Flip the cutlets and spray with more olive oil spray. Cook for another 4 to 6 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken is 165°F. Repeat with the last two cutlets.
