STEPS

1

Prepare the lemon-caper sauce: Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until aromatic, about 1 minute.

2

Whisk in flour and cook, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.

3

Whisk in chicken broth, white wine, and lemon juice and bring to a boil. Remove saucepan from heat and whisk in capers, parsley, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Cover to keep warm until ready to use and gently whisk before serving.

4

Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions for 10 minutes. Lightly coat the air fryer basket with nonstick spray.

5

Cut each chicken breast in half crosswise. Pound each chicken breast half until 1/2-inch thick between sheets of plastic wrap.

6

Place flour in a medium bowl. Whisk together egg and lemon juice in a second bowl. Mix bread crumbs and cheeses in a third bowl. Season chicken with salt and pepper.

7

Dredge chicken in flour, then egg mixture, and then bread crumb mixture. Place on a sheet pan.

8

Place breaded chicken in air fryer basket. Spray with nonstick spray. Cook at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway and spraying tops again. Repeat with remaining chicken.

9

Drizzle chicken with lemon-caper sauce and serve immediately.
