INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast (142g)
1/4 cup Panko Breadcrumbs (28g)
2 tbsp Whole Wheat Flour (16g)
1 large Egg White (33g)
1/4 cup Fresh Orange Juice (62g)
1 tsp Orange Zest
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/4 tsp Ginger Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
Cooking Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-size pieces ensuring even thickness.
In a shallow bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, ginger powder, salt, and pepper.
In another bowl, whisk the egg white until slightly frothy. Add the fresh orange juice and orange zest to the egg white and mix well.
Dip each chicken piece into the egg white mixture first, then coat evenly with the breadcrumb-flour mixture.
Lightly spray the coated chicken pieces with cooking spray to help achieve a crispy texture.
Arrange the chicken pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
Air-fry for approximately 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and is golden and crispy.
Serve immediately, optionally drizzling any remaining orange glaze from the egg mixture over the top for extra flavor.
