INGREDIENTS

5 oz chicken breast

2 tbsp low-fat buttermilk

2 tbsp almond flour

0.5 tsp garlic powder

0.5 tsp onion powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp smoked paprika

1 medium whole-grain waffle

1 tsp avocado oil

1 tbsp sugar-free maple syrup

0.25 tsp red pepper flakes

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your air fryer to 400°F and lightly coat the basket with avocado oil to prevent sticking.

• 2

  Slice the chicken breast into even strips and place them in a small bowl with the buttermilk to soak for 10 minutes.

• 3

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

• 4

  Dredge each chicken strip into the seasoned flour mixture, pressing firmly to ensure the coating adheres to all sides.

• 5

  Arrange the chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

• 6

  While the chicken cooks, toast the whole-grain waffle until it is warm and slightly crisp.

• 7

  In a small ramekin, stir the red pepper flakes into the maple syrup to create a spicy-sweet glaze.

• 8

  Place the crispy chicken strips on top of the toasted waffle and finish with a drizzle of the spicy maple syrup.
