Air Fried Chicken Cutlets Recipe

How to Make Air Fried Chicken Cutlets

• STEP 1.Start by trimming any excess fat from the chicken breasts. Cut them in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets. This helps them cook evenly and faster. Use a meat mallet to gently pound the chicken if needed, ensuring a uniform thickness.

• STEP 1.In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg. In another bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Dip each chicken cutlet into the egg, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks.

• STEP 2.Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent the cutlets from sticking.

• STEP 3.Arrange the breaded chicken cutlets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray the tops of the cutlets with olive oil to help them crisp up. Air fry at 375°F for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure both sides are golden brown and crispy.

• STEP 4.Once the chicken is crispy and cooked through, remove from the air fryer and serve immediately. Pair these cutlets with a side salad, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal. You can also serve them with a dipping sauce like ranch, honey mustard, or BBQ sauce.
