Description
I find chicken thighs to be more flavorful than chicken breasts, and this schnitzel is a perfect example. Not only is it delicious, it is also cooked in the air fryer, making it lower in calories, oil free, and grease free.
Ingredients
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs, trimmed of fat
- ½ cup seasoned bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

- Place breaded thighs in the air fryer basket
