Method
Prepare the Chicken
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.
Set Up Breading Station
- In a shallow dish, place the flour. In a bowl, beat the eggs. In another shallow dish, combine panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Bread the Chicken
- Dredge each chicken cutlet in flour, shaking off excess.
- Dip into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off.
- Coat with the panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Air Fry the Chicken
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray.
- Place the breaded chicken cutlets in the basket in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd.
- Spray the tops of the chicken cutlets with more olive oil spray.
- Cook for 10 minutes, flip the cutlets, and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve
- Remove the chicken cutlets from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or side salad.
