Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Cutlets
- 4 burger buns brioche or ciabatta work well
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- ½ cup marinara sauce
- ¼ cup pesto sauce
- Lettuce tomato, and onions for topping
Instructions
- Prepare Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Cutlets by following all recipe directions for breading and cooking
- After cooking, place a slice of cheese on freshly cooked chicken cutlets (or reheated chicken cutlets) and allow it to melt
- Place cutlets with melted cheese on buns (toast the buns lightly first, if desired)
- Top sandwiches with warmed marinara, pesto, lettuce, tomato, and onions, or as desired
- Serve immediately for best texture and presentation
Notes
- Store chicken cutlets and toppings separately in the fridge. Chicken cutlets will store for up to 4 days, and fresh toppings for 1–2 days.
- Reheat chicken cutlets in the air fryer at 350 ℉ for 3–5 minutes or in the oven at 375 ℉ for 10 minutes. Then, reassemble the sandwich with the cheese and other toppings to maintain the best texture.
- If chicken cutlets are too thick, slice them in half horizontally with a very sharp knife, or pound them to an even thickness (½ inch or less) before cooking in the air fryer.
- Nutritional information will vary depending on the cutlet size, toppings, and bread choice.
