Air Fryer Chicken Cutlets
Cooking chicken cutlets in an air fryer creates a crunchy, golden-brown exterior while eliminating excess oil. Serve the crispy cutlets with a side salad.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup whole-wheat or gluten-free panko breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- ½ cup whole buttermilk
- 1 pound chicken breast cutlets (4 cutlets)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
Directions:
- Combine panko, Parmesan, oil and lemon zest in a shallow dish. Pour buttermilk into another shallow dish.
- Preheat air fryer to 375°F for 5 minutes. Coat the basket with cooking spray. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge in the buttermilk, letting excess run off. Dredge in the panko mixture, pressing to adhere. Place in the basket, in batches if necessary, and cook until golden brown and a thermometer inserted in the thickest part reaches 165°F, about 5 minutes on each side.
