Crispy, golden-brown, and utterly delicious, Air Fryer Chicken Schnitzel is the perfect dish for a quick weeknight dinner. The secret to its crunch lies in the air fryer, which coats the chicken in a light layer of flour, egg, and breadcrumbs and then cooks it to perfection using hot air circulation instead of excessive oil.

Start with boneless chicken breasts, pounded to an even thickness for uniform cooking. A simple seasoning of salt and pepper enhances the flavour, while a dip in seasoned flour, followed by egg, and finally a generous coating of crispy breadcrumbs gives that classic schnitzel texture.

In just a matter of minutes, you'll have a healthier alternative to the traditional fried version, complete with a façade that’s every bit as satisfying. Serve it with a side of tangy lemon wedges and a fresh salad for a delightful, guilt-free treat that the whole family will enjoy.
