Ingredients
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons capers, drained
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • nonstick cooking spray
  • 2 (8 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated Asiago cheese
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese
  • 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
1
Here's the rewritten recipe in English, differing by at least 30%:\nMelt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Combine the butter mixture with a small amount of all-purpose flour and cook, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
2
Combine the chicken broth, white wine, and freshly squeezed lemon juice in a separate saucepan. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and whisk in capers, chopped parsley, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Cover the saucepan to keep warm until ready to use and gently whisk before serving.
3
Prepare chicken: Preheat an air fryer according to the manufacturer's instructions for 10 minutes. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray.
4
Cut each chicken breast in half crosswise. Cover the cutting board with plastic wrap and place chicken breast halves on it; cover chicken breasts with additional plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to pound each chicken breast half until 1/2-inch thick.
5
Combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Whisk together an egg and freshly squeezed lemon juice in a second medium bowl. Combine the bread crumbs, grated cheese, salt, and pepper in a third medium bowl. Sprinkle chicken breast halves evenly with the seasonings.
6
Working in batches, coat each piece of chicken in flour until well coated. Transfer to the egg mixture and gently toss to coat, then place in the bread crumb mixture and toss again to coat. Transfer to a sheet pan. Repeat the process until all chicken has been breaded.
7
Place 2 pieces of breaded chicken in the prepared air fryer basket. Spray the top side with nonstick cooking spray, and cook until golden brown, crispy, and a thermometer inserted into the thickest portion registers 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 8 to 10 minutes. Halfway through cook time, flip chicken pieces and spray the top again. Transfer to a platter and repeat to cook remaining chicken.

Drizzle with lemon-caper sauce and serve immediately.
