Ingredients
- 1 chicken breast, sliced into 2 thin cutlets (200 g)
- 1/3 cup (40 g) breadcrumbs
- 1/3 cup (30 g) grated cheese
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) dried oregano

- 1 egg
- pepper
- vegetable oil or cooking spray
Instructions
- Begin by setting the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and let it heat for 5 minutes.
- Cut the chicken breast horizontally to create two thinner pieces. Sprinkle both sides of each piece with pepper.
- In a shallow dish, mix together the breadcrumbs, grated cheese, oregano, and garlic powder until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg gently.
- Immerse the chicken pieces into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to fall away, then press them into the breadcrumb mixture to ensure an even coating.
- Lightly coat the air fryer basket with vegetable oil, then place the chicken inside. Apply a thin layer of oil on the top of the chicken as well.
- Cook in the air fryer at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 to 12 minutes, making sure to turn the chicken over halfway through the cooking time.
Notes
- Add a sprinkle of parmesan cheese to the breadcrumb mixture for enhanced flavor.
- Press the breadcrumb mixture firmly onto the chicken cutlets to achieve a crispy coating.
- Customize the flavor by experimenting with different herbs and spices in the breadcrumb mixture.
