Air Fryer Chicken Cutlets
Thin chicken cutlets in a seasoned panko crust, air fried until deeply golden with barely any oil.
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts sliced horizontally into 4 thin cutlets
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup golden breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs whisked
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Slice each chicken breast horizontally through the middle, creating 4 thinner pieces in total.
- Whisk the eggs in a shallow bowl. In another, mix the panko and golden breadcrumbs with the salt and black pepper. Put the flour in a third.
- Dredge each piece in flour, then egg, then the crumb mixture, pressing gently so the crumbs adhere.
- Place the breaded cutlets in the basket without overlapping, then spray them generously with cooking spray.
- Cook at 380°F (190°C) for 23 minutes, flipping halfway through and spraying the second side, until golden and cooked through.
- Remove and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving so the crust firms up.
Notes
Nutrition values are an estimate. Slice each breast horizontally so the cutlets are thin and even. Spray the crumbs generously before cooking and again after flipping, or they stay pale and floury.
