Instructions

  • Prepare a dredging station; with 1 cup panko bread crumbs mixed with 1 teaspoon oregano and 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder. A bowl with 1 egg whisked, and 3/4 cup flour. You can use three bowls one for each or arrange the dry ingredients onto parchment paper for easy clean up.
    1 egg
  • Pat 1 pound chicken cutlets about 1/4 inch thick dry and dip each one into flour so that they are coated on each side. Then dip them into the egg, and then the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Place the breaded cutlets onto an air fryer tray or basket. Spray with a little bit of olive oil spray and air fry in a preheated 400 degree f air fryer until cooked to 165 degrees f - about 10 minutes. Note: cook time can vary depending on your air-fryer.

Notes

Make it in the oven:
You can easily make this recipe in the oven if you don't have an air fryer. Once the chicken cutlets are breaded, spray with olive oil spray, arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and place them into a 400-degree preheated oven. Bake for 8 minutes, flip over and bake until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees f. about 6 to 8 more minutes.
Substitutions:
Gluten-free breadcrumbs may be substituted for a gluten-free version.
Serving suggestions:
Serve with fresh arugula dressed with olive oil and lemon juice or a tossed salad. 
Store leftovers:
Store room temperature cutlets in an airtight container for up to four days or freeze for up to three months.
