Certainly! Here’s a simple recipe for air fryer chicken cutlets:
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (you can use seasoned or plain)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs, beaten
Instructions:
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Prepare the Chicken: Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness (about 1/2 inch). This helps the chicken cook evenly.
- Prepare the Breading: In a shallow dish, mix together breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, then coat it with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs to the chicken.
- Cook in the Air Fryer: Place the breaded chicken breasts in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they aren’t touching each other. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Air Fry: Cook the chicken at 400°F (200°C) for about 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
- Serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. You can serve the chicken cutlets with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside some roasted vegetables or a salad.
