However, having baked/cooked chicken breasts all the time can get bland and boring. This recipe revitalizes your love for chicken, without adding a ton of calories. Flavourful, crispy, and perfect for an entrée OR to add a bit more flavor and crunch to your favorite salad.

2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts sliced into cutlets
1 tablespoon oil olive oil, canola, or vegetable oil
½ cup dried bread crumbs
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon dried chili powder
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Put the chicken breasts in a bowl and drizzle with oil. Make sure that they're well coated.

2. In a shallow dish, mix the dried bread crumbs with the spices until well combined.

3. Coat each chicken breast in bread crumbs, and transfer to your air fryer basket.

4. Air fry in the air fryer at 390°F or 200°C for 10-12 minutes. After the first 7 minutes, open the air fryer, flip the chicken to the other side, and continue cooking (cook for 3 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken breast used).
