Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 380℉ for about 3-5 minutes.
Slice each chicken breast in the middle horizontally, creating four thinner pieces in total.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs. Place the flour in the second shallow bowl.
In another shallow bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, golden breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper.
Dredge each chicken piece in the flour, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with the panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Place the breaded chicken cutlets in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overlapping. Spray the breaded chicken cutlets lightly with cooking spray.
Cook in the air fryer at 380℉ for 15 minutes. Carefully flip the chicken in the air fryer basket and spray oil on them. Put the basket back in the air fryer and cook for another 8-10 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked fully.
Once cooked, remove the chicken cutlets from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

You can use any breadcrumbs you prefer, such as seasoned breadcrumbs or Italian breadcrumbs.
If your chicken cutlets are thicker, you may need to increase the cooking time slightly to ensure they are cooked through.
You can bread the chicken cutlets ahead of time and refrigerate them until ready to cook.
