Quick and Easy Air Fried Chicken Cutlets
This chicken recipe is quick and easy. Your chicken cutlets don't have to be fried in a bed of oil- use your air fryer and get a better tasting chicken cutlet.
Equipment
- Air Fryer
- tongs
- gallon size plastic bag optional, but it makes cleanup so much easier
- bowl To bread the cutlets
Ingredients
- 3 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced thin makes extra for more meals
- 3 eggs
- ¼ cup milk any milk, I use 2%
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ¾ cups mixture Italian seasoning & Panko breadcrumbs You could do all of one, but I like the flavor and the crunch combined
- ⅔ cup parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp oregano
- salt & pepper To season your chicken
- Avocado spray Olive Oil works well, too
Instructions
- Start the air fryer. Set it on air fryer mode and adjust the temperature to 350 °F
- If your chicken is already sliced thin, salt, pepper, and garlic your chicken and set it aside. Allow it to come down to room temperature
- Assemble your workstation: Put the flour in the ziploc bag, get a wide bowl and beat your eggs and milk together, put the breadcrumbs, parmesan, and italian seasoning together in a separate bowl. I also like to put down wax paper where I can spray the breaded cutlets before going into the air fryer.
- If you want to make it easy, set up your bowls and bag in a line: Ziploc bag, egg and milk bow, breadcrumb/parmesan bowl, wax paper, then air fryer. Now it's time to get to work!
- First, place a few cutlets into the bag of flour and shake them around. Make sure that it is fully coated.
- Using tongs or a fork, remove them from the bag and dip them into the egg mixture, once coated, place them into the breading. Be sure to get and even coating. Lastly, place them on the wax paper and give them an even spray of avocado oil. Put them into the fryer.
- Put in only a few cutlets at a time to allow for air circulation. After 5 minutes, turn them and spray the other side with avocado oil (if you didn't do so one the wax paper). Leave them in the airy fryer until fully cooked (for me it's another 10 minutes).
