A healthier take on the classic Japanese chicken katsu, made in an air fryer for that perfect crunch without the guilt.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups panko breadcrumbs

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Slice each chicken breast in half width-wise to create four thin cutlets.
  3. Pound the chicken to about ¼ – ½” thick using a meat mallet.
  4. Season both sides of the chicken cutlets with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  5. Prepare three shallow bowls with flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs.
  6. Coat each chicken piece in flour on both sides.
  7. Dip the floured chicken in beaten egg, covering both sides.
  8. Press the chicken into the panko breadcrumbs until fully coated.
  9. Place the coated chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 10 minutes.
  10. Flip the chicken and cook for another 5 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  11. Repeat until all pieces are cooked and serve while hot!

Notes

Serve with tonkatsu sauce, steamed rice, and a side salad. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
