Ingredients

> 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
> 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
> 1 large egg
> 2 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into halves
> Cooking spray
> 6 cups mixed salad greens
> 1 tbsp olive oil
> 2 tbsp red wine vinegar

Steps

1
Add the flour to a dish and the bread crumbs to another dish. In third dish, beat the egg.
2
Heat air fryer to 350°F. Season the chicken all over with salt. Working with 1 piece at a time, coat chicken with flour, tapping off excess. Dip chicken into egg, letting excess drip off, then add to dish with bread crumbs, pressing so crumbs adhere.
3
Coat both sides of chicken with the cooking spray, then add to air fryer in a single layer, in batches if necessary. Cook 15 min., turning chicken pieces over halfway through. Increase temperature to 400°F and cook another 4–5 min., until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from air fryer and season with salt to taste.
4
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss the greens with the oil and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve chicken with salad.

Tips

To cook in the oven, set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. Lightly coat with cooking spray. Place breaded chicken pieces on rack, spaced apart, and coat tops with cooking spray. Bake at 425°F for 30–35 min., until cooked through.
