Chicken cutlets in an air fryer are easy to make, have a crispy coating, and the chicken breast remains tender inside. For the coating of the chicken breast cutlets, I used panko; alternatively, you can use coarse breadcrumbs. You can serve the cutlets with French fries or air-fried potatoes. The cooking time for the cutlets in the air fryer may vary depending on the type of air fryer you use. This is the air fryer I use.

How to prepare chicken cutlets in an air fryer
Let’s start preparing the chicken cutlets in the air fryer. Beat the eggs in a dish with a fork, then place the panko or breadcrumbs in another dish.
Dip the chicken slices in the egg, then in the bread, again in the beaten egg, and finally again in the panko; thanks to this double breading, they will be crispy outside and tender inside.
Place the tray in the air fryer’s basket and add the cutlets. Add a few spritzes of extra virgin olive oil and cook them for 15 minutes, flipping them halfway through and spritzing some more oil.
When the cutlets are cooked, remove them from the tray, adjust the salt, and serve them hot, maybe with some sauces.
