To a shallow bowl, or pie pan, crack and whisk the eggs.
In a separate shallow bowl or pie pan, combine the breadcrumbs, cheese, and garlic salt. Mix well.
Cut the chicken breasts into thin filets, then cut each filet into 6 chicken strips.
Dunk the chicken strips in the eggs, then move over to dredge in the breadcrumbs.
Let any extra breadcrumbs fall off as you move the chicken strips from the breadcrumbs to a plate until you have enough for one run in the air fryer. (You can continue dunking and dredging while the first batch air frys.)
In batches, add the chicken strips to the air fryer. Spray with olive oil and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side.
When the chicken is cooked through and crispy on the outside and golden brown, they're done. Move to a clean plate and continue air frying the chicken fingers.
