Keto Air Fried Chicken Cutlets
How to Make It
Step 1
Turn on your air fryer and preheat it to 350 degrees for at least 5 minutes, or you can preheat it during the prep of this recipe. Line the air fryer tray with parchment paper, if necessary, and set it aside. Cut thin-sliced chicken breast into pieces about 1 ½ ounces in weight. Cubes of chicken breast will not work for this recipe, so make sure the chicken is pounded flat to a ¼” thickness if necessary. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
Step 2
Arrange the paleo flour spread out on a clean plate or flat surface. You may add extra paleo flour to ensure the chicken is fully coated when you bread it. In a shallow bowl, whisk an egg together with the heavy cream. When your air fryer is preheated, dredge each piece of chicken by coating them in a light layer of flour. Dust off excess flour and dip the chicken pieces in the egg mixture. Let excess egg mixture drip off before dredging the chicken pieces again in the flour. Arrange the breaded chicken on the air fryer tray.
Step 3
Cook the chicken cutlets for 15 minutes. Then, flip the cutlets over and cook for another 10 minutes in the air fryer or until the breading looks fully cooked through and golden. Let the chicken cutlets cool for a couple of minutes before serving. You can eat the chicken as is with Keto side dishes for a full meal or use the chicken for making Keto sandwiches, wraps, and salads.
