Ingredients

  • ¼ cup unbleached all-purpose flour

  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten

  • ½  cup panko breadcrumbs

  • ½  pound thin-sliced boneless skinless chicken breasts

  • 1¼  teaspoons kosher salt, divided

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder, divided

  • 1  teaspoon garlic powder, divided

  • Vegetable oil, for spraying

  • 2 cups baby arugula

  • ¼ cup shaved Parmesan

  • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • Juice of ½ lemon

  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Preparation

  1. Put the flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs each in separate shallow containers for dipping. Season the flour and breadcrumbs each with 1/2 teaspoon of sald, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder.
  2. Dredge each chicken cutlet first in the flour, then the eggs, and finally the breadcrumbs.
  3. Place the air fryer basket onto the baking tray. Place the cutlets in the basket in a single layer, and generously spray each cutlet evenly with oil. Put the basket and tray onto the air fryer toaster oven rack. Set to Air Fry at 375°F for 20 minutes. Flip the cutlets halfway through cooking time, spraying evenly with oil.
  4. While the cutlets are cooking, place the arugula, Parmesan, olive oil, lemon juice, and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Toss to combine and set aside.
  5. When cutlets are finished, remove from the basket. Serve with the arugula salad and lemon wedges.
