INGREDIENTS

4 oz chicken breast

0.25 cup low-fat buttermilk

0.25 cup whole wheat panko breadcrumbs

1 tsp smoked paprika

0.5 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1.5 cups green beans

1 tsp avocado oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Place the chicken breast in a shallow bowl and pour the buttermilk over it, letting it marinate for at least 15 minutes in the refrigerator.

• 2

  In a separate small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper to create the breading station.

• 3

  Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, letting any excess liquid drip off, then dredge it thoroughly in the seasoned breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.

• 4

  Preheat your air fryer to 375°F and lightly spray the basket with avocado oil to prevent sticking.

• 5

  Place the breaded chicken in the air fryer and cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the exterior is golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

• 6

  While the chicken is air-frying, steam the fresh green beans for 5-7 minutes until they are bright green and reach a crisp-tender texture.

• 7

  Plate the crispy chicken alongside the steamed green beans and serve immediately while hot.
