Air Fryer Crispy Chicken Cutlets

Ingredients

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, about 1.5 pounds total
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch
1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Using a sharp chef’s knife, cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally. You may also need to use a mallet to pound them out a little thinner and ensure they are even thickness.

Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel and brush each side with oil.

Add the cornstarch and seasonings to a small bowl and whisk to combine.

Coat both sides of each piece of chicken with the seasoning mixture, making sure to press it into the flesh.

Place the chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer.

Air fry at 400F for 6 minutes. Flip the chicken over and air fry for another 4-6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165F.
