Air Fryer Chicken Cutlets: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 29 minute

Ingredients

– 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (Panko for extra crunch)
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Cooking spray or olive oil spray
– Optional: Fresh parsley for garnish


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your delicious Air Fryer Chicken Cutlets:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by slicing the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets. This helps them cook evenly and quickly.

2. Season the Flour: In a shallow dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

3. Prepare the Eggs: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.

4. Coat the Chicken: Dredge each chicken cutlet first in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the cutlet in breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.

5. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes.

6. Arrange the Cutlets: Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the breaded chicken cutlets in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.

7. Cooking Time: Spray the tops of the cutlets lightly with cooking spray. Cook at 380°F (193°C) for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).

8. Rest the Cutlets: Once cooked, remove the chicken cutlets from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute for maximum juiciness.

9. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
