INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Almond Meal
1 large Egg
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels. If needed, lightly pound to achieve an even thickness for uniform cooking.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg until well combined.
In a separate shallow dish, combine the almond meal, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
Dip the chicken breast first in the egg, ensuring it's thoroughly coated, then dredge it in the almond meal mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs.
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
Place the coated chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Air fry the chicken for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the crust is golden and crispy.
Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
