Ingredients
Instructions
-
Set up three shallow bowls. Put the flour in the first bowl. Second bowl, beat the eggs smoothly. Now combine breadcrumbs, finely grated cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper together for the third bowl. Well, mix the breadcrumb mixture, to make sure everything is spread around evenly.
-
Take a chicken cutlet and lightly coat it with flour, shaking off any surplus. Then dip it into beaten eggs until it’s completely coated. Finally, press the chicken cutlet into the breadcrumb mixture. Make sure it’s coated evenly on all sides. Then try and do it for all the cutlets.
-
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C for about 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
-
Spray or drizzle olive oil or cooking spray into the air fryer basket. It lightly coats the basket, to prevent anything from sticking. Place the breaded chicken cutlets in a single layer in the basket, leaving room between each piece. Overcrowd if you have to, work in batches if necessary.
-
Air fry the chicken cutlets at 200°C for 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Once the chicken is golden brown and crispy, they’re ready to be cooked until the exterior is golden brown and crispy.
-
Place the cutlets back in the air fryer for a minute or two and once it’s done, get them out and cool for a moment before serving. Serve them with your most loved dunking sauce, salad, or a serving of mixed greens. Enjoy it!
