Tips for Curry Chicken Cutlet
Cook the chicken cutlets in a single layer without overlapping them so they heat evenly in the air fryer.
Adjust the tomato paste according to the amount of rice to achieve your preferred flavour.
Heat the curry sauce just before serving for the best taste and texture.
Add mozzarella cheese while the chicken cutlet is still hot so it melts nicely.
What to Serve with Curry Chicken Cutlet
Curry Chicken Cutlet pairs well with a refreshing side salad, steamed vegetables, or a simple cucumber salad to balance the rich curry and cheesy chicken. For a heartier meal, serve it with extra tomato rice, steamed rice, or noodles, and add your favourite vegetables such as broccoli, carrots, or edamame.
