Ingredients

1 ½ pounds chicken breast skinless, boneless, can be between
2 large eggs
1 ½ cups Panko breadcrumbs Italian seasoned
salt and black pepper optional, to taste
olive oil spray see notes

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 375º Fahrenheit.
If required slice chicken cutlets in half. Pat dry and season with salt and pepper.
In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs. Dip each chicken cutlet into the egg mixture.
Spread panko bread crumbs in a separate dish and coat each chicken cutlet on both sides.
Lightly grease the air fryer basket with olive oil, place the breaded cutlets in a single layer. Spray the coated chicken cutlets lightly with olive oil.
Air fry for 12-15 minutes at 375º Fahrenheit, flipping halfway. Once cooked, let the cutlets rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Notes

FOOD SAFETY - The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165° Fahrenheit, and it should have a golden brown, crispy exterior. I usually use an instant-read thermometer to check for doneness.

OIL - You can use a bottle of olive oil spray or buy a refillable spray bottle and use your favorite olive oil.
