Ingredients for Air Fryer Chicken Caesar Cutlets:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (sliced in half lengthwise to make 4 cutlets)
- ½ cup Caesar dressing
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- cooking spray
- optional fresh parsley or extra Parmesan for garnish
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken cutlets in a bowl or zip-top bag and coat with Caesar dressing. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
- Prepare the Breadcrumb Mixture: In a shallow bowl, combine the panko, Parmesan, garlic powder, and black pepper.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
- Coat and Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, coat each cutlet in the breadcrumb mixture, spray with cooking spray, and air fry for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Serve: Serve hot, optionally garnished with chopped parsley or extra Parmesan.
Notes
- These cutlets are perfect served over a Caesar salad or tucked into a sandwich.
- For extra crispiness, press the breadcrumbs firmly onto the chicken before air frying.
