Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts ensure even thickness for even cooking and tenderness
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced for a fragrant and flavorful kick
  • Salt and pepper to taste
For the Coating
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs provides delightful crunch
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese adds nutty flavor and helps create a golden crust
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature for optimal breading adherence
For the Sauce
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce adds savory depth
  • 2 tablespoon honey balances the saltiness of soy sauce

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Method
 

How to Make
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Gather all your ingredients.
  2. Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about ½ inch.
  3. Mix the panko breadcrumbs with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper in one bowl. In another bowl, beat the eggs until frothy.
  4. Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mix.
  5. Arrange the cutlets in a single layer in the freshly sprayed air fryer basket. Cook for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Combine the soy sauce and honey in a small bowl to make the sauce. Drizzle it over the chicken cutlets before serving.
