Ingredients
  

  • 2 large Chicken Breasts halved to create cutlets
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 cup Panko Bread Crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon Spice Blend e.g., Weber's "Kickin' Chicken" or your preferred seasoning

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken Breasts:

  • Begin by halving the chicken breasts to create thinner cutlet-sized pieces. This allows for quicker and more even cooking.
    2 large Chicken Breasts
  • In a shallow bowl, pour the olive oil. Dip each chicken cutlet into the olive oil, ensuring both sides are coated.
    2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • In another shallow bowl, combine the panko bread crumbs and your chosen spice blend.
    1 cup Panko Bread Crumbs, 1 teaspoon Spice Blend
  • Dip each olive oil-coated cutlet into the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs to the chicken.

Preheat Air Fryer:

  • Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) for a few minutes to ensure it's hot and ready for cooking. You can choose to do this first so that it heats up before preparing the chicken breasts.

Cook the Chicken:

  • Arrange the coated chicken cutlets in a single layer at the bottom of the air fryer basket. Make sure not to overcrowd them to ensure they cook evenly.
  • Cook the chicken cutlets in the air fryer at 390°F (200°C) for 12 minutes.
  • Be sure to flip each cutlet halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crispiness on both sides.
  • Once the cooking time is complete, carefully remove the crispy chicken cutlets from the air fryer.

Serve and Enjoy:

  • Serve these delicious and crispy chicken breast cutlets with your favorite side dishes for a quick and satisfying meal.
  • The air fryer ensures a crunchy texture without the need for excessive oil, making these cutlets a healthier alternative to traditional frying methods. Enjoy!
