/

This crispy Air Fryer Breaded Chicken Breast is topped with a Mediterranean Salad of tomatoes, red onion, romaine lettuce, and grated Feta cheese – so good!

INGREDIENTS

Chicken

  • 8 boneless thin sliced chicken breast fillets, about 4 ounces each, 1/4 inch thick

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 1/2 cup panko, or gluten-free panko

  • 1/3 cup finely grated parmesan cheese

  • 2 large eggs, beaten

  • olive oil spray

Salad

  • 5 cups 1 large head romaine lettuce, chopped

  • 1 heirloom tomato, diced

  • 1/2 small red onion, chopped

  • 2 ounces grated feta cheese, grated from 1 block

Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano

  • 1 garlic clove, grated

  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Season the cutlets on both sides with salt.

  • In a shallow bowl combine the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese.

  • Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water. Place in a large flat dish. Coat the cutlets with the egg mixture, remove the excess and dip them into crumbs.

  • Place the cutlets on a work surface and spray both sides generously with oil.

  • Air fry in batches 400F 6 to 7 minutes turning halfway, until the crumbs are golden brown and the center is no longer pink. Divide on 4 plates.

  • Make the dressing: Combine the lemon juice, vinegar, oregano, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and let sit until the oregano has absorbed some liquid, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the olive oil.

  • While the cutlets are cooking, toss all the lettuce, tomato, red onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt together in a large bowl. Drizzle over the dressing, toss, and divide among the 4 plates of chicken, piling it over the cutlets.

  • Using a box grater, grate 1/2 ounce of the cheese over each salad.
