INSTRUCTIONS

- In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ranch dressing mix, Parmesan cheese, and crushed garlic. Spread this mixture evenly over the top of each cutlet.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray, then carefully place the cutlets inside.
- Cook at 350°F for 12-15 minutes until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.
