Ingredients

Chicken
2 chicken breasts, pounded to 1/4-inch thick
1/2 cup flour
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 tsp salt
Salad Topping
2 cups arugula
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
Shaved Parmesan
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper

Equipment

  • Oil Sprayer Mister
  • Air Fryer Parchment Liners

Steps

  1. 1

    Pound chicken to 1/4-inch thickness between plastic wrap.

  2. 2

    Dredge in flour, dip in egg, coat in panko-Parmesan mixture. Press firmly.

  3. 3

    Spray with oil. Air fry at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.

  4. 4

    Toss arugula and tomatoes with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

  5. 5

    Top each cutlet with salad and shaved Parmesan. Serve immediately.

💡

Tip: The peppery arugula salad on top of the hot, crispy chicken is what makes this dish special. Don't dress the salad until the chicken is ready — it wilts fast. The contrast of hot crispy chicken and cool fresh salad is everything.
