What’s the difference between a skinless, boneless chicken breast and a chicken cutlet? Chicken cutlets are thin slices cut from the breast. Bonus with cutlets: they cook in minutes.

Depending on air fryer settings, preheat 6- to 8-quart air fryer to 360°F or 370°F for 3 minutes. Spray basket with nonstick spray and add 2 chicken cutlets. Air fry until golden and crisp, 4–5 minutes. Lift out basket. Turn chicken over; spread 2 tablespoons pizza sauce on each cutlet and top with basil, slice of mozzarella, and slice of tomato. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon Parmesan and pepper on each cutlet.
