Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, blend together Greek yogurt, anchovy paste, salt, and pepper until smooth. Refrigerate to let flavors meld.
  2. Arrange three shallow bowls: one with cornstarch mixed with salt and pepper, one with whisked egg and milk, and one with Italian breadcrumbs and Parmesan.
  3. Dip each chicken cutlet into cornstarch, then the egg mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumb mixture. Set aside.
  4. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Cook coated cutlets in a single layer for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. Slice cooked chicken cutlets and arrange them on plates over chopped romaine lettuce. Drizzle with chilled dressing.
