Ingredients

  • ¼ cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ pound thinly sliced boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1¼ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder, divided
  • ½ 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 ½ teaspoon of salt, ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder, and ¼ teaspoon of onion powder.
  2. Dredge each chicken cutlet first in the flour, then the egg, and finally the breadcrumbs.
  3. Place the crisper plate into the glass air fryer basket. Place the cutlets in the basket in a single layer, and generously spray each cutlet evenly with oil. Put the basket into the air fryer. Set to Air Fry at 375°F for 15 minutes, and then press Start. 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.
