INGREDIENTS
1 piece (150g) Chicken Breast
1/4 cup (28g) Almond Flour
1 large Egg White
1/4 cup (60g) Fresh Orange Juice
1 teaspoon Orange Zest
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
In a bowl, whisk the egg white with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Add the chicken pieces into the bowl and ensure they are evenly coated with the egg white mixture.
Place almond flour in a separate shallow dish. Dredge each chicken piece in the almond flour until fully coated.
Lightly spray or drizzle olive oil over the coated chicken to help crisp the coating during air frying.
Place the chicken pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, shaking halfway through for even crisping.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the orange glaze by gently heating the orange juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the orange zest and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the air fryer and toss lightly in the orange glaze until well covered.
Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy, tangy, and protein-packed meal.
