Instructions
⭐️Slice chicken breast in half. Place one hand on top of the chicken breast. With a sharp knife, carefully cut the chicken breast in half lengthwise. Repeat.
⭐️Pound the chicken thin. Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Using a kitchen mallet or rolling pin, pound or roll the chicken until it's about 1/2 inch thick and all areas are of equal thickness. This helps tenderize the chicken and allows for even baking.
Combine the flour mix. To a large flat-bottomed bowl or pan whisk together the flour, cornstarch, 1 teaspoon seasoned salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Whisk the eggs. In another large flat-bottomed bowl or pan whisk together the eggs, 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
Coat the chicken. Place the chicken breast into the flour mixture. Coat in flour, shaking off the extra. Place chicken into the egg mixture. Coat well letting the extra drip off. Coat again in the flour mix. Place onto the air fryer pan. Repeat for all the chicken.
⭐️Preheat the air fryer or heat the pan and spray the chicken. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F or heat the skillet to medium-high heat. Spray the chicken cutlets with nonstick cooking spray. This helps them get golden brown. If using a skillet make sure it's well coated in cooking spray as well.
⭐️Fry the chicken. Air fry or pan fry for 5 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the internal temperature is 165°F.
Serve. Serve on a warmed bun topped with lettuce, pickles, and your favorite dressing.
