Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Slice the chicken breast into two thin cutlets, season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
In a shallow bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, dried oregano, and garlic powder.
In another bowl, whisk the egg until well blended to create an egg wash.
Dip each chicken cutlet into the egg wash, then coat with the panko mixture.
Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil and arrange the coated chicken cutlets in a single layer.
Air fry the chicken at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
