Don’t have any chicken? You can also use fish fillets or pork chops.
Lay the chicken breast on a flat surface, place one and on top to give the breast stability. With the knife in an horizontal position, slice across.
As you slice across, open the breast to help guide you straight.
As you get closer to the end lay the two pieces flat.
Cut through.
The end result is SIX fillets from THREE breasts!

Hi Karen, If you have an air fryer I would say yes otherwise I think the breading would be too soggy.
