Description
Make healthy Air Fryer Chicken Cutlets with less oil in just 10 minutes. These are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Delicious with a side of vegetables or on top of salads.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts (thinly sliced in 3 cutlets)
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
- ½ cup all purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Start by patting the chicken slices dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle salt and pepper on the chicken on both sides.
- Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Make a breading station by having flour and breadcrumbs in separate shallow bowls.
- Step 3: Dip each chicken slice in flour and shake the slice to remove the excess flour. Then dip in the beaten eggs, making sure to cover all sides. Then transfer the chicken breast to the breadcrumbs mixture, pressing gently to coat evenly. Place breaded chicken cutlet on a baking sheet.
- Step 4: Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F. Place chicken cutlet in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Spray each slice with cooking oil. Cook for 5 minutes.
- Step 5: Flip the chicken cutlets and spray cooking oil on that side. Cook for another 5 minutes until golden brown.
- Step 6: Remove the chicken cutlets from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. If desired, garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
To make your own seasoned breadcrumbs, add garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper to regular breadcrumbs or panko breadcrumbs. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
