Air fryer chicken cutlets for a simple and delicious main course. The recipe I want to share with you today is for a very light Chicken Cutlet that I cooked in the now indispensable air fryer. Chicken is a meat I often cook at home; it’s light and delicate, perfect for preparing endless recipes. From the classic Chicken Cacciatore to Chicken Meatballs or Chicken Pizzaiola. A light breading without eggs and cooking in the fryer without frying, but the cutlets come out so crispy on the outside and incredibly tender inside that I assure you you won’t miss the frying. Following the same recipe, you can replace chicken breast slices with turkey breast or pork loin slices. If you also love cooking chicken this is a recipe not to be missed.

How to prepare air fryer chicken cutlets
For this recipe, you need thin chicken breast slices. If necessary, flatten them further with a meat tenderizer. Prepare a smooth and dense batter with water and flour.
Mix the breadcrumbs with the grated parmesan on a plate. Dip the chicken breast slices first in the batter on all sides and then in the breadcrumbs. Arrange the cutlets in an oiled pan.
Spray with oil and cook them in the air fryer at 356°F for 15-16 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with a pinch of salt or lemon juice
For oven baking: at 374°F static for 15 minutes

Loredana’s Tips
You can bread the chicken slices and store them in the fridge for a day without cooking, or you can freeze them wrapped in cling film to have them ready
If you prefer, you can make a classic breading by replacing the batter with a beaten egg
