Pound the chicken
Lay the cutlets on a single layer on large chopping board and cover them with a large sheet of plastic wrap. With a meat pounder or the bottom of a heavy skillet, pound the cutlets until they are an even ¼” thick. This ensures the chicken will be tender and cook evenly.

Bread the chicken
Working one at a time, place a chicken cutlet in the bowl with the flour and roll it around until it is lightly but completely coated. Shake off any excess flour. Dip the cutlet in the bowl with the egg. Allow excess egg to drip back into the bowl. Dip the cutlet in the bread crumbs, rolling it around until it is completely coated. Shake off any excess bread crumbs and place the cutlet in a June Air Basket set over a June Pan to catch any crumbs. Repeat with the remaining cutlets until all are coated.

Coat with cooking spray
Generously coat the tops of the chicken with nonstick cooking spray, then turn the pieces over and spray again. The oil will help brown the chicken.

Air fry the chicken
Slide the June Air Basket into the middle shelf position with a foil-lined June Air Basket in the bottom position. Air fry the chicken 15 minutes. June will notify you when to flip the chicken and add the zucchini.
Season the zucchini
While the chicken is cooking, add the zucchini pieces, olive oil, Parmesan, salt and pepper to a large bowl and toss together with your hands to coat.

When June notifies you, remove the Air Basket from the June Oven and place it on the June Pan to catch any crumbs. With tongs, carefully flip each chicken piece over to ensure even crisping. Add the zucchini to the Air Basket, arranging it in an even layer around the chicken pieces.
