TurboBlaze™ 6.0-Quart Smart Air Fryer - Cream

Crisp, golden, and surprisingly light, this Seeded Chicken Schnitzel brings a modern twist to a classic comfort dish. A blend of sesame and sunflower seeds adds nutty depth and satisfying crunch, while the air fryer creates the desired schnitzel crispiness with a fraction of the oil. Paired with a bright, lemony arugula salad, this dish strikes the perfect balance of hearty and fresh. It’s a quick, nourishing dinner that delivers big flavor and delectable texture without the fuss of traditional frying. 

Nutritional Feature: 

Cooked, skinless chicken breast is a popular protein source for those looking to build muscle and manage weight. Not only is chicken breast packed with protein and low in carbs, but it also contains essential B vitamins like B3 and B6, plus iron, potassium, and phosphorus.

Instructions

Make the Chicken 

  1. Set up a breading station with the whole wheat flour in one bowl, the eggs and Dijon mustard whisked together in a second bowl, and the panko breadcrumbs, white sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, garlic powder, turmeric, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper in a final bowl. 
  2. Dredge each chicken piece in the flour, then in the egg mixture (shaking off any excess as you go), and finally into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to coat all sides. Spray both sides with olive oil spray. 
  3. Place the crisper plate into the air fryer basket. 
  4. Select the Air Fry function, adjust temperature to 390°F and time to 4 minutes, then tap Start/Pause to preheat. 
  5. Place 2 pieces of chicken into the preheated crisper plate at a time. 
  6. Select the Air Fry function at 10 minutes, adjust temperature to 390°F, then tap Start/Pause.  
  7. Flip chicken over halfway through cooking. 
  8. Remove the chicken schnitzel when golden brown and crispy. Continue with remaining pieces. 

Make the Salad 

  1. Place the arugula in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, sprinkle with salt and pepper, then toss until well mixed and taste for seasoning. Top with shaved Parmesan.  
  2. Serve schnitzel alongside salad. 

TurboBlaze Time/Temp: Air Fry 390°F for 10 minutes
