Equipment

  • air fryer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large boneless, skinless, chicken breast
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 1-2 tablespoons of oil for brushing

Instructions
 

  • Slice the chicken breast in half by placing your hand flat on top of the chicken breast and running a sharp knife through horizontally.
    1 large boneless, skinless, chicken breast
  • Take a rolling pin or meat mallet to pound the chicken until they are thin.
  • Take a shallow bowl or a plate to add flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Whisk them together.
    ½ cup all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon paprika, salt and pepper to taste
  • In a separate shallow bowl or plate place the bread crumbs. And in another shallow bowl or plate beat the eggs with a tablespoon of water.
    1 cup panko bread crumbs, 2 eggs
  • Arrange them by starting with the flour mixture, followed by the egg mixture, and the bread crumbs.
  • This is the right time to preheat your air fryer at 200C/400F for 3-5 minutes.
  • Take one of the chicken breast slices and place it in the flour mixture, shake off the excess. Now dunk it in the egg let the excess fall off and place it on the bread crumbs and shake off the excess. Repeat the same process with the remaining chicken breasts.
  • Brush or spray oil on the air fryer basket and place the breaded chicken breast in a single layer. Brush or spray a thin layer of oil over the chicken to make them crispier. Or you can skip it if you're cutting down on oil.
    1-2 tablespoons of oil for brushing
  • Cook the chicken schnitzel at 200C/400F for 5-6 minutes or until the chicken is browned on the top. Flip them halfway through the cooking process brush some oil on the second side and cook for 5-6 minutes more.
  • Serve the crispy air fryer chicken schnitzel and enjoy.
