Description

Enjoy the crispy texture and juicy flavor of these air fryer chicken cutlets, a healthier twist on a classic dish.


Ingredients

  • 1.25 lb chicken cutlets
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper


Instructions

  1. Set up a dredging station with two shallow bowls: one with whisked eggs and another with breadcrumbs and seasonings.
  2. Dip each chicken cutlet into the egg wash, allowing excess to drip off.
  3. Coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently for an even coating.
  4. Arrange the coated cutlets on a plate and spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil.
  5. Place the chicken cutlets in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  6. Set the air fryer to 400°F and cook for 12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  7. Check that the chicken is golden and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F before serving.

Notes

For crispier results, use fresh ingredients and ensure the breadcrumbs stick well to the chicken.
