Preparation Steps:

• Start by trimming the chicken breasts to remove any excess fat. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently pound the chicken to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
• In a bowl, combine the Italian dressing, kosher salt, and garlic powder. Add the chicken cutlets and toss to coat. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
• In one shallow bowl, place the beaten egg. In another shallow bowl, combine the seasoned whole wheat breadcrumbs, grated cheese, and dry Italian seasoning. Mix well to combine.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade, dip each cutlet first into the beaten egg, and then into the breadcrumb mixture. Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken.
• Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
• Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray, place the breaded chicken cutlets in a single layer, and lightly spray the tops of the cutlets.
• Air fry the chicken cutlets for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through. Check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
• Once cooked, remove the chicken cutlets from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
