  • 1/4 cup Caesar dressing
  • 1/4 cup shaved Parmesan cheese

  5. Spray both sides of the cutlets with olive oil spray and place in the air fryer basket in a single layer.

  8. Serve crispy chicken cutlets over the Caesar salad.

Notes

  • Use store-bought Caesar dressing for convenience or make your own.
  • Pound chicken to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
  • Air fry in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding.
