Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup golden breadcrumbs
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
  • Slice each chicken breast in the middle horizontally, creating 4 thinner pieces in total.
  • In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs.
  • In another shallow bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper.
  • Place the flour in a third shallow bowl.
  • Dredge each chicken piece in the flour, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with the panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  • Place the breaded chicken cutlets in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overlapping.
  • Spray the breaded chicken cutlets lightly with cooking spray.
  • Cook in the air fryer at 380°F (190°C) for 23 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
  • Once cooked, remove the chicken cutlets from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
