Air Fryer Chicken Milanese

As most of you who have been reading my website know,  I was raised in an Italian household. This was one of my favorite dishes growing up, so today I converted it to an air fryer recipe. I present to you my Air Fryer Chicken Milanese.

If you are not familiar with Chicken Milanese-

In Italian, the word is actually Milanese which just means breaded.  If you were to order this dish in Italy you would get a piece of breaded chicken. It is the same as other countries’ dishes, Japanese Katsu, Breaded Cutlets, and Schnizsel.

So actually today, I am showing you a foolproof way to make a crispy chicken cutlet with a topping of vegetables. Everyone always wants a healthy alternative to Air Fryer Fried Chicken, this is it.

This is also a great recipe if you are looking at how to make air fryer cutlets or air fryer think chicken cutlets.

The Ingredients Needed For Today’s Dish– Air Fryer Milanese or Milanese Air Fryer

Chicken:

• 1/2 cup of panko
• 1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese
• 4 chicken breasts (boneless and skinless)
• olive oil cooking spray

Sauce:

• 2 teaspoons of olive oil
• 2 cups of grape tomatoes, cut in half
• 1 shallot, peeled and diced
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1 teaspoon of pepper
• 1/2 cup of fresh basil leaves
• 1/4 cup of red wine

Here Are The Simple Steps to Make:

Mix the cheese and panko together.

Spray your chicken with non-stick cooking spray

Dip your chicken into the panko mixture, for the coating.

Place the chicken in your air fryer tray. Follow the directions of the recipe, below

Start by heating the oil, then heat the shallots, until soft

Add the tomatoes and cooking wine (or real wine)

How To Store Leftovers–

If you do not use all of the chicken that you have prepared, this makes an amazing lunch the next day. To store simply place the chicken in an airtight container, and place it in the refrigerator. It will last about 1 to 2 days. To reheat you can either use the microwave or place in the air fryer.

Tips For the Perfect Air Fryer Breaded Chicken-

To get the chicken to really crisp up, I always spray the entire coating with olive oil. What happens when the air fryer hits the olive oil, it allows it to crisp up. Without the oil, you will probably get chicken either dried out or with white spots. And your chicken will be dried out.
