Crispy Chicken Schnitzel in Air Fryer – Quick Recipe
Crispy chicken schnitzel, quickly cooked in an air fryer, with a golden crust and juicy interior.
🥘 Ingredients

large egg — 1
breadcrumbs — 80 g (about 1.5 cups)
paprika — 1 teaspoon

👨🍳 Steps
1Pound the chicken cutlets between two sheets of parchment paper with a rolling pin to about 1 cm thickness.
2On a flat plate, mix the flour with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3On a second plate, beat the egg.
4On a third plate, spread the breadcrumbs.
5Bread each cutlet: first in the flour mixture, then in the egg, and finally in the breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.
6Lightly spray the breaded cutlets with oil on both sides.
