Feta Chicken Cutlets
Description
This recipe prepares pounded chicken cutlets coated in seasoned flour, egg wash, and Italian breadcrumb mix, providing a crispy coating after cooking. The chicken can be cooked in an air fryer or oven at 350°F until golden brown and fully cooked through. Cooking the chicken on a wire rack in the oven helps keep the crust crisp by preventing steaming.
The accompanying sauce blends cherry tomatoes, feta cheese (in block form), garlic, chili flakes, oregano, and olive oil. The ingredients are combined and cooked directly in the air fryer or oven-safe container until the tomatoes soften and the feta melts into a creamy, slightly chunky sauce with a hint of heat and herbaceous notes. Parsley can be added for freshness, and extra feta or chili flakes can garnish the finished dish for texture and spice.
These cutlets with feta tomato sauce make a flavorful main course and pair well with sides like rice, pasta, or vegetables to balance the rich and tangy flavors.
