Viral Crispy Chicken Schnitzel Salad

Let’s face it—crispy food without the guilt is the dream. Enter: Air Fryer Chicken Schnitzel. It’s all the golden, juicy, cutlet-y magic you’ve seen blowing up your feed, but made lighter and faster in the air fryer. Bonus? No standing over a hot skillet and zero greasy cleanup.
Paired with a zingy fresh salad with a lemon tahini dressing that basically tastes like summer, this dish feels fancy enough for guests but is easy enough for a Tuesday.

 This dish is so fabulous and part of the allure is it's simple ingredients that lend to the most succulent and juicy chicken top with a beautiful crispy salad with creamy, bright dressing.

 Simple, humble ingredients that most people have on hand are all you need for this viral dish.

Easy Dredge in first egg, then panko is all the chicken requires.

Once the chicken cutlets are dredged, place on a piece of parchment paper and into the air fryer they go.  You can certainly saute these in a skillet, but I love using the air fryer for this.

One out of the air fryer, they're ready to be plated & topped with that glorious salad.
