Simple, satisfying and guaranteed to become a regular on your meal plan, this is comfort food made lighter without compromising on that irresistible crunch.

Step 1

Place the chicken fillets between two sheets of baking paper or cling film and gently flatten with a rolling pin or meat mallet until they're approximately 1 cm thick.

1 Chicken breast

Step 2

Place the flour in one shallow bowl, the beaten eggs in a second, and the panko breadcrumbs in a third. Coat each chicken fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip into the egg before pressing firmly into the panko breadcrumbs until evenly coated.

50 g Plain flour

2 Eggs

100 g Panko breadcrumbs

Step 3

Lightly spray both sides of the schnitzels with olive oil spray and place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer.

Step 4

Air fry at 200°C for 12–14 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown, crisp, and the chicken is cooked through with no pink remaining.

Step 5

Arrange the schnitzels alongside a mixed salad. Scatter over the chopped fresh parsley and finish with a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving.
