Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 large), sliced horizontally into cutlets
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Olive oil spray
- Lemon wedges and fresh parsley for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
- Set up breading station: Place flour in first shallow bowl, beaten eggs in second bowl, and combine panko, Parmesan, everything seasoning, garlic powder and salt in third bowl.
- Dredge each chicken cutlet: First coat in flour (shake off excess), then dip in egg, then press firmly into panko mixture to coat completely.
- Lightly spray both sides of breaded chicken with olive oil.
- Air fry in single layer (work in batches if needed) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Let rest 2 minutes before serving with lemon wedges and parsley if desired.
Notes
- For extra crispy results, spray breaded cutlets lightly with oil before air frying
- Make your own everything seasoning by combining: 2 tbsp sesame seeds, 2 tbsp poppy seeds, 1 tbsp dried garlic, 1 tbsp dried onion, and 2 tsp coarse salt
- Perfect for meal prep – reheat in air fryer at 375°F for 3-4 minutes
- Serve as chicken parm by topping with marinara and mozzarella after cooking
