Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Thinly Sliced Chicken Cutlets there should be 4 or 5 cutlets and they have to be thinly sliced. Perdue sells the best thinly sliced raw cutlets. They are so thin and make the crispiest cutlet.
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 3/4 cup Italian Seasoned Bread Crumbs
  • 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese the type that comes in a shaker can
  • Avocado Oil Spray Olive Oil also works

Instructions
 

  • Create a prep station by laying out two shallow bowls and a plate
  • Mix the parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs together in one shallow bowl
  • Beat the large egg in the other shallow bowl
  • Dip each chicken cutlet into the egg mixture and then into the breadcrumb mixture. After dipping it into the egg mixture, let the excess egg fall off of the chicken before adding it to the breadcrumbs. Evenly coat each cutlet with breadcrumbs. Repeat with all cutlets
  • Spray the air fryer rack with avocado oil spray and then add the chicken cutlets to the rack. Only three fit side by side in mine so I had to cook in batches.
  • Spray the top of the chicken with avocado spray and then cook for 14 minutes at 400F. Repeat until all cutlets are cooked.

Notes

Cutlets should be no thicker than 1/4 inch thick.
