Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray or olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Dip each slice of chicken into the beaten eggs, ensuring complete coverage.
  4. Transfer the chicken to the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure it adheres well.
  5. Arrange the coated chicken cutlets in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  6. Lightly spray them with cooking spray or drizzle them with olive oil for extra crispiness.
  7. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they’re golden-brown and fully cooked.

Notes

For a unique twist, experiment with different types of breadcrumbs or cheeses. To reheat leftovers, use the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness.
