Ingredients

  • 1 pound thinly sliced chicken breasts
  • 2 extra large egg whites or sub whole egg
  • 1 cup gluten free breadcrumbs you can use seasoned or unseasoned and season yourself with salt, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Olive or avocado oil spray

Instructions

  • Create a breading station by pouring your egg whites into one shallow bowl, and the breadcrumbs on a plate.  Place another plate or baking sheet nearby for the breaded chicken. I like to line it with parchment paper to cut down on the mess.  
  • Dip each piece of chicken into the egg white on both sides. Then dip cutlets into the breadcrumb mixture and coat well.  
  • Spray the bottom of your air fryer lightly with cooking spray, then add half of the chicken pieces.  The amount will depend on how big your air fryer is. I do 3 at a time in mine.  Tip - be careful not to overcrowd your chicken otherwise your chicken won't get crispy!
  • Spray the tops of the chicken with olive oil spray, then air fry at 400 for 7 minutes. 
  • Open air fryer and flip your chicken.  Spray the second side with more cooking oil spray, then cook for an additional 7-8 minutes or until crispy and cooked through. 
  • Remove the cooked chicken and set aside on your prepared plate or baking sheet, and repeat the process for the remaining cutlets.  

Notes

To make these in the oven, preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Follow all breading directions, then cook in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes.
