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."
