Ingredients  

  • 1 lb chicken mince 500 g
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 60 g
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs 120 g
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • oil spray

Instructions

  • Place a large sheet of greaseproof paper onto the counter.
  • Add the chicken mince to the center.
  • Place another sheet of greaseproof paper on top.
  • Use a rolling pin to flatten the chicken mince into a large thin rectangle or oval.
    Mince pressed and rolled thin between two sheets of greaseproof paper, then the top sheet peeled away
  • Carefully peel off the top sheet of paper.
  • Transfer the flattened chicken onto an air fryer liner or sheet of greaseproof paper.
  • Whisk the eggs in a small bowl.
  • In another bowl mix the flour, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper.
  • Brush the top of the chicken mince with the beaten egg.
    Panko mixed with paprika and garlic powder, egg brushed over the flat mince and an even crumb layer on top
  • Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top.
  • Press gently so the coating sticks.
  • Spray generously with oil spray.
  • Air fry at 200°C (400°F) for 10 to 14 minutes until golden and cooked through. Oven: preheat to 425°F (220°C) and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

Notes

Nutrition values are an estimate. Only the top is crumbed, so cook it crumb side up on its liner. Oven method: bake at 425°F (220°C) for 18 to 22 minutes, until cooked through. Ground chicken is safe at 165°F (74°C). Turkey mince can be used in equal amounts; use gluten free flour and breadcrumbs for a gluten free version. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (180°C) for 3 to 5 minutes.
