Ingredients to make chicken cutlets in the air fryer.
Chicken breast: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are ideal for making chicken cutlets in the air fryer. Try my classic air fryer chicken breast recipe too!
Egg whites. Helps the breadcrumbs adhere to the chicken.
Italian seasoned breadcrumbs. Seasoned breadcrumbs boost the flavor of the breading. If you only have plain, you can add a little extra Italian seasoning for more flavor.
Olive oil spray. Helps create that crispy, golden brown coating. You can also use avocado oil spray instead.
Air Fryer Chicken Cutlet Variations
Add Other Flavors: Consider a pinch of kosher salt, cumin, or cayenne pepper, or a teaspoon of garlic powder, onion powder, or white pepper. Create your own seasoning combination based on your preferences.
Extra-Crispy: Dip the chicken first in flour, then the egg, and last in the breadcrumbs.
Panko: For an even crispier outside, you can use panko breadcrumbs instead of the regular which are finer in texture, like in this crispy fried chicken breast in the air fryer recipe. I like to flour the chicken breasts first when using panko breadcrumbs.
Gluten-Free or Keto: Use almond flour or gluten-free breadcrumbs to make allergy-friendly cutlets, and crush pork rinds to make a keto breading.
Different Chicken: You can also make this recipe using breaded chicken tenders or boneless chicken thighs. The tenders may cook more quickly, and the chicken thighs will take longer.
