Chicken Cutlet Air Fryer Recipe
Air fryer chicken cutlets turn out crispy, golden, & delicious with only 10 minutes of cook time! Enjoy on their own, with pasta, & more.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken cutlets
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/8 tsp cayenne optional
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
- In one small container whisk the eggs and in another combine the breadcrumbs and seasonings.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F.
- Dredge your chicken cutlet in the eggs, flipping and covering each side. Then shake off any excess egg and lay it in the breadcrumbs, using your fingers to help completely cover the chicken. Flip and do the same to the other side. Shake off any excess breading. Continue to do this with the remaining chicken cutlets.
- Spray your air fryer and lay two chicken cutlets in the basket. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through. Check the internal temperature to make sure it is at 165 degrees F. For my air fryer, 10 minutes was perfect, but all vary a little differently.
- Serve and enjoy.
