INGREDIENTS

5 oz chicken breast

0.25 cup low-fat buttermilk

2 tbsp all-purpose flour

1 tbsp cornstarch

0.5 tsp smoked paprika

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp onion powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp avocado oil

1.5 cup broccoli florets

PREPARATION

• 1

  Slice the chicken breast into even 1-inch thick strips.

• 2

  Place the chicken in a bowl and cover with buttermilk, marinating for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

• 3

  In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 4

  Remove each chicken strip from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, and dredge thoroughly in the flour mixture, pressing to adhere.

• 5

  Preheat your air fryer to 400°F and lightly brush or spray the chicken strips with avocado oil.

• 6

  Arrange the chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the coating is golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

• 7

  While the chicken cooks, steam the broccoli florets for 5 minutes until tender-crisp and bright green.

• 8

  Serve the crispy chicken alongside the steamed broccoli for a balanced, clean-eating feast.
