Ingredients
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken cutlets
– 1 cup Caesar dressing
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)

Instructions
Creating Air Fryer Chicken Caesar Cutlets is a breeze when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare Chicken: Start by patting the chicken cutlets dry with paper towels to ensure they crisp up well.
2. Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, mix the chicken cutlets with Caesar dressing. Ensure they are evenly coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
3. Combine Coating Ingredients: In another bowl, mix breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
4. Coat Chicken: Remove each chicken cutlet from the dressing, letting the excess drip off, then dip it into the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to ensure the crumbs stick.
5. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer according to the manufacturer’s instructions to 400°F (200°C).
6. Arrange Cutlets: Place the coated chicken cutlets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Spray the tops lightly with olive oil to enhance crispiness.
7. Cook: Air fry the chicken for 10 minutes. Flip the cutlets halfway through the cooking time and spray again with oil.
8. Check for Doneness: Ensure that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). If needed, cook for an additional 3–5 minutes.
9. Rest Cutlets: Once cooked, remove the cutlets from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
