Description

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create two thin cutlets.
  2. In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, and pepper.
  3. In a second shallow dish, place the beaten egg.
  4. In a third shallow dish, combine panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and paprika.
  5. Dredge each chicken cutlet in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg, and finally coat thoroughly with the panko breadcrumb mixture.
  6. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  7. Brush the air fryer basket with olive oil.
  8. Place the breaded chicken cutlets in the air fryer basket in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd. You may need to cook in batches.
  9. Drizzle the chicken cutlets with the remaining olive oil.
  10. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  11. Remove the chicken cutlets from the air fryer and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crispy chicken, spray the breaded cutlets with cooking oil spray before air frying.
  • If you don’t have panko breadcrumbs, you can use regular breadcrumbs, but the texture will be slightly different.
  • Adjust cooking time depending on the thickness of your chicken cutlets and your air fryer model.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauces, such as honey mustard, BBQ sauce, or ranch dressing.
