INGREDIENTS

5 oz chicken breast

2 tbsp low-fat buttermilk

2 tbsp almond flour

0.25 tsp smoked paprika

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 whole whole-grain waffle

1 tbsp sugar-free maple syrup

1 tsp avocado oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Slice the chicken breast into three even strips for uniform cooking.

• 2

  Place the chicken in a small bowl and toss with the low-fat buttermilk until well coated.

• 3

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

• 4

  Dredge each chicken strip through the almond flour mixture, pressing firmly so the coating adheres to the meat.

• 5

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

• 6

  Arrange the chicken in the basket and spray the tops of the strips with the remaining avocado oil to ensure a golden, crunchy finish.

• 7

  Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

• 8

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

• 9

  Place the waffle on a plate, top with the crispy chicken strips, and finish with a drizzle of sugar-free maple syrup.
