Ingredients

Chicken Cutlets

  • 1.5 lb chicken breast, sliced thin (6 pieces)
  • ¼ cup liquid egg whites
  • 3/4 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
  • Olive oil spray

Instructions

  1. Prepare Breading Station: Pour the liquid egg whites into one shallow bowl and the Italian seasoned breadcrumbs into another shallow bowl to set up your breading station.
  2. Set Aside Breaded Chicken: Lay a piece of wax paper or a plate nearby to place the breaded chicken pieces after coating.
  3. Bread the Chicken: Dip each thinly sliced chicken breast piece into the liquid egg whites, then coat thoroughly in the Italian seasoned breadcrumbs.
  4. Preheat Air Fryer and Prepare Basket: Spray the bottom of the air fryer basket with olive oil spray to prevent sticking and aid crisping.
  5. Arrange Chicken in Air Fryer: Place half of the breaded chicken pieces into the air fryer basket (generally 3 at a time, depending on size) and spray the tops generously with olive oil spray.
  6. Air Fry First Side: Cook at 400°F for 15 minutes. At the 7-minute mark, flip each chicken piece over, then spray the tops with additional olive oil spray to ensure even crisping.
  7. Cook Remaining Chicken: Once the first batch is done, remove the cooked cutlets and set aside on a plate. Repeat the process for the remaining chicken pieces.

Notes

  • Ensure chicken breasts are sliced thinly for even cooking and crispier texture.
  • Adjust air fryer quantity per batch based on the size of your air fryer to avoid overcrowding for best results.
  • Use olive oil spray generously to promote browning and prevent sticking.
  • Flip the chicken halfway through cooking for even crispness on both sides.
  • Internal temperature of cooked chicken should reach 165°F for safety.
