INGREDIENTS
1 piece Chicken Breast (150g)
0.25 cup Almond Flour (28g)
1 large Egg (50g)
1 medium Orange (for juice and zest, 131g)
1 teaspoon Cornstarch (3g)
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder (3g)
1 teaspoon Sesame Seeds (3g)
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
In a shallow bowl, mix the almond flour with garlic powder and a pinch of salt.
In another bowl, beat the egg. Zest the orange and set aside the zest; then juice the orange into a small bowl and mix in the cornstarch until well combined.
Dip the chicken breast first into the beaten egg, letting the excess drip off, then coat evenly with the almond flour mixture.
Place the coated chicken breast in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray with oil if desired for extra crispiness.
Air fry for about 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
In a small saucepan, gently heat the orange juice mixture with the orange zest for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened to create the glaze.
Drizzle the orange glaze over the crispy chicken and sprinkle sesame seeds on top before serving.
