Ingredients
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (sliced into 4 thin cutlets)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup seasoned Italian breadcrumbs
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil spray
Instructions
1. Slice each chicken breast horizontally to make thin cutlets. Pat dry.
2. Set up a breading station with three bowls: flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs.
3. Dip each cutlet in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs.
4. Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Spray the basket with olive oil spray.
5. Place cutlets in a single layer. Spray tops with oil. Cook for 7 minutes.
6. Flip, spray again, and cook for another 7–8 minutes until internal temp reaches 165°F.
7. Serve hot or keep warm in the oven while finishing other batches.
Notes
Do not overcrowd the basket—air circulation is key for crisping.
Cutlets can be frozen before or after cooking.
Reheat in air fryer at 350°F for 4–5 minutes.
