Of course! Here is a simple recipe for crispy air-fryer chicken cutlets, similar to the chicken tenders we discussed, but using chicken breasts.
Ingredients
| Ingredient |Quantity |
| Chicken breasts |2 (about 1 lb / 450g total), pounded thin |
| All-purpose flour |½ cup |
| Large eggs |2 |
| Panko breadcrumbs |1 cup |
| Garlic powder |1 tsp |
| Onion powder |1 tsp |
| Smoked paprika |½ tsp |
| Salt |1 tsp |
| Black pepper |½ tsp |
| Cooking spray |As needed |
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes.
2. Set Up Breading Stations: Prepare three shallow bowls:
• Bowl 1 (Flour): Mix the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
• Bowl 2 (Eggs): Beat the eggs in the second bowl.
• Bowl 3 (Breadcrumbs): Place the panko breadcrumbs in the third bowl.
3. Coat the Chicken:
• Dredge each chicken cutlet in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
• Dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
• Press it firmly into the panko breadcrumbs until evenly covered.
4. Cook:
• Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
• Arrange the coated cutlets in a single layer, making sure they don't overlap.
• Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
Tips for Perfect Results
• Pat Dry First: Always pat the chicken cutlets dry with a paper towel before coating. This is the key to a crispy crust.
• Don't Overcrowd: If you need to cook in batches, do so. Overcrowding the basket will cause the chicken to steam instead of crisp up.
• Check for Doneness: The chicken is safe to eat when its internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
• Reheating Leftovers: To bring back the crunch, reheat the cutlets in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 3-4 minutes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with your favorite dipping sauces like honey mustard, ranch, or BBQ sauce. They also pair well with air-fried fries or a fresh coleslaw.
These cutlets are great for sandwiches! 🥪 enjoy 🥰
