Notes

TO STORE: Place leftovers in a shallow container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

TO FREEZE: Freezing them in airtight containers or freezer-safe bags helps them retain their juicy tenderness for up to 6 months.

TO REHEAT: Either reheat in a non-stick skillet until hot or back again in the air fryer.

Make them low carb: Use keto breadcrumbs.

Gluten-free: Use gluten-free breadcrumbs and add an extra tablespoon of water.

Recipe variations

Add more fresh herbs. Add fresh basil or fresh parsley for more flavor.
Mix-ins. Add parmesan cheese or finely chopped onion.
Use different meat. This recipe works just as well with lean ground chicken or lean ground beef.
Serve with a sauce. Try my Pomodoro sauce or sun dried tomato pesto.
