Instructions

  • Slice 300 g Chicken breast in half lengthways and then pound to make them an even thickness.
  • On a plate, combine 40 g Panko breadcrumbs, 0.5 teaspoon Garlic granules, 0.5 teaspoon Onion granules, 2 pinch Sea salt, 2 pinch Ground black pepper, 10 g Parmesan and 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning.
  • Whisk 1 Egg in a bowl.
  • Dip the flattened cutlets into the whisked egg and then into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring they are completely coated.
  • Spray your air fryer basket with a little oil.
  • Put the coated chicken into your air fryer (you may have to cook in batches) and cook on the Air Fry setting at 200°C for 6 minutes.
  • Flip the cutlets over, spray with oil again and cook for a further 6 minutes.

Notes

  • Ensure the chicken breasts are pounded to a uniform thickness for even cooking. We recommend about 1cm/0.5 inch thick.
  • Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
  • Cook the cutlets in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding, which can prevent them from becoming crispy.
  • A light spray of olive oil helps achieve a golden, crispy exterior.
  • Remember that every air fryer cooks differently, so keep checking the chicken to make sure it is not cooking too quickly. Using a meat thermometer is always the best way to make sure the chicken is cooked.
  • Don't waste the leftover breading ingredients. Combine the leftover egg and breadcrumb mixtures, and fry them in a little oil for a tasty, crunchy topping for salads or casseroles.
