Air Fryer Chicken Cutlets
Breaded chicken cutlets are a staple in an Italian-American home, but they are usually fried in oil until golden brown. While they are delicious, I was determined to recreate this recipe using no oil, and in my air fryer. This is a base recipe for air fried chicken cutlets. You can use these in salads, on sandwiches, or to make dishes like chicken parmigiana, without the mess of traditional frying.

Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lb chicken breast, sliced thin, 6 pieces
- ¼ cup liquid egg whites
- 3/4 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- olive oil spray
Instructions
-
Create a breading station by pouring your egg whites into one shallow bowl, and the breadcrumbs into another shallow bowl.
-
Lay a piece of wax paper or a plate to the side to put your breaded chicken on.
- Dip each piece of chicken into the egg white, and then into the breadcrumbs to coat thoroughly.
-
Spray the bottom of your air fryer with olive oil spray, then add half of the chicken pieces (depending on the size of your air fryer). I do 3 at a time.
-
Spray the tops of the chicken with olive oil spray.
-
Air fry at 400 for 15 minutes. At the 7 minute mark, flip the chicken and spray the tops with more olive oil spray.
-
Remove the cooked chicken and set aside on a plate, and repeat the process for the remaining pieces.
