Recipe

  • Step 1
    Wash & slice the broccoli into florets. Cut them in halves or quarters, if needed.
  • Step 2
    In a pot of salted boiling water, add the broccoli. Cook for 5-6 min, then drain. Set aside & keep warm.
  • Step 3
    Meanwhile, place the chicken on plastic wrap & cover it, then flatten it using the bottom of a pot or a rolling pin.
  • Step 4
    In a shallow dish, add the flour with a pinch of salt & pepper. Coat the chicken on both sides.
  • Step 5
    In a second shallow dish, add the egg. Whisk it with a fork, then dip the chicken on both sides.
  • Step 6
    In a third shallow dish, add the breadcrumbs & half of the parmesan, then coat the chicken on both sides. For a thicker crust, coat the cutlet a second time in the beaten egg & then in the breadcrumbs.
  • Step 7
    Place the breaded chicken in the air fryer basket with the rack. Add a drizzle of olive oil & air fry for 15-20 min at 180°C, flipping them halfway through.
  • Step 8
    Once golden & crispy, remove the chicken from the air fryer. Slice into strips, if you like.
  • Step 9
    Serve the crispy chicken on a plate with the broccoli. Top with the remaining parmesan & re-season to taste. Enjoy!
