Steps
- 1
Pound chicken to 1/4-inch thickness between plastic wrap.
- 2
Dredge in flour, dip in egg, coat in panko-Parmesan mixture. Press firmly.
- 3
Spray with oil. Air fry at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
- 4
Toss arugula and tomatoes with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- 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.
Why Air Fry This?
- ⏱️Ready in 12 minutes vs ~22 in a conventional oven — no preheating needed.
- 🍖Circulating hot air renders fat and seals in juices for a crispier outside and tender inside.
- ⚡Uses significantly less energy than heating a full-size oven for a single batch.
