Instructions
1Cook the Boostcous
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the Boostcous for 7 to 8 minutes. Drain and rinse well. Season with a pinch of salt and set aside.
2Butterfly the chicken
Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to make thin cutlets so they cook quickly and evenly.
3Coat with mayo and crumbs
Stir the breadcrumbs and Parmesan together in a shallow dish. Spread a thin layer of mayo over both sides of each cutlet, then press into the crumb mixture until well coated.
4Air fry
Lightly spray the air fryer basket. Air fry the chicken at 400°F for 12 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through.
5Char the zucchini
While the chicken cooks, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini and squash with salt and pepper and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until browned in spots.
6Build the plates
Spoon Boostcous onto each plate, sprinkle with fresh herbs, and top with the crispy chicken and charred zucchini.
