Air Fryer Chicken Cutlets #Recipe @PegCochran




Do you have an air fryer?  I got one from hubby for Christmas.  At first it pretty much just sat in the cupboard--I really wasn't sure what to do with it.  My daughter has one and uses it a lot although she's often making chicken nuggets for the kids in it.

I finally started looking up air fryer recipes and I've actually been using it more and more! It makes wonderfully crispy fries, "fried" shrimp, "fried" chicken and other "fried" things using much less fat,  It also heats up quickly and cooks quickly both of which save you time in the kitchen!  

This recipe came from somewhere although I don't remember where! I made a few changes to it--I forgot the parmesan and it turned out great.  Instead of using lemon zest in the coating, I squeezed some lemon over the finished product.  I also used one chicken breast (they're so gigantic these days) and cut it in half horizontally before breading and cooking.  The recipe serves two--depending on the size of your chicken breasts (and the size of your appetite), you may want to use one or two.


Ingredients:
1 large egg, beaten

1/4 c. all-purpose flour

3/4 c. panko bread crumbs

1/3 c. freshly grated Parmesan

2 tsp. lemon zest

1 tsp. dried oregano

1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
Salt (to taste)
Freshly ground black pepper

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts



Directions


Place eggs and flour in two separate shallow bowls. In a third shallow bowl, combine panko, Parmesan, lemon zest, oregano, and cayenne. Season with salt and pepper.





Working one at a time, dip chicken into flour, then eggs, and then panko mixture, pressing to coat.




Place in air fryer basket and cook at 375° for 10 minutes. Flip chicken, and cook for another 5 minutes, until coating is golden and chicken is cooked through. 



Golden brown and crispy! 




Amazon Reviewer:  "Peg Cochran creates engaging characters and a wonderful sense of time and place. The mystery is well plotted and full of twists. There’s a little bit of humor, a splash of romance, and great historical details."



An intrepid 1930s Manhattan socialite uncovers deadly secrets during an assignment to the Hamptons in this riveting historical cozy mystery for readers of Victoria Thompson, Anne Perry, and Rhys Bowen.


Westhampton, 1938. To the dismay of her well-to-do family, Elizabeth “Biz” Adams is quickly establishing herself as a seasoned photographer over at the Daily Trumpet. Growing more confident in her decision to pursue a career, Elizabeth is thrilled when she and her reporter sidekick, Ralph Kaminsky, are sent to Long Island to cover the story of a young maid found dead in one of the glamourous summer homes in the devastating aftermath of the Great New England Hurricane—also known as the Long Island Express.

At first it’s assumed that the young woman was caught in the terrible storm, but when a suspicious wound is found on the side of her head, the police suspect murder. The maid’s death becomes even more tragic when it’s discovered she was pregnant, and with Elizabeth and Kaminsky at the scene of the crime, the Daily Trumpet scoops all the other papers in town.

The young woman’s boyfriend emerges as the likeliest suspect. But as Elizabeth follows the story, she begins to wonder whether someone in the household of the maid’s employers might be responsible—someone who’ll stop at nothing to keep the truth about the baby’s paternity hidden.

    1. It's the kind of thing you can live without but if you get one, and make a point to find ways to use it, you'll find it comes in handy. Sometimes I cook things in it that I would have put in the oven because it takes less time and with only two of us, I'm not cooking great quantities.

  2. Your chicken cutlets look amazing and I am happy to read your positive review on the air fryer. I have given both my DILs air fryers but still don't have one myself. I'm afraid it will just sit on the counter like the Instant Pot.....

    1. I know what you mean! I haven't used my instant pot much except as a slow cooker but I think when the weather turns colder, I will make a point of trying more recipes in it!

  3. This sounds very tasty.
    I'll try it in the oven. It should do nicely there.

    1. Really?! You never heard of an air fryer?
      You've been working too hard. Recipes using it are all over the place.
      I don't intend to get one. Too many gizmos taking up space as it is.

  6. I read an article that you can bake a cake in the air fryer. Do you use a regular cake pan, or would that ruin the original pan? Most of the time I follow recipes from https://www.airfryer.com.se
