0.25 tsp sea salt

PREPARATION

• 1

  Place the chicken breast in a shallow bowl and pour the buttermilk over it, ensuring it is fully coated.

• 2

  In a separate small bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 3

  Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, letting any excess drip off, then dredge it thoroughly in the flour mixture until evenly coated.

• 4

  Lightly brush or spray the coated chicken with olive oil on all sides to ensure a golden finish.

• 5

  Place the chicken in the air fryer basket and cook at 400°F for 12 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the exterior is golden and crispy.

• 6

  While the chicken cooks, lightly toast the whole grain bun in a dry pan or toaster until warm.

• 7

  Assemble the sandwich by placing the lettuce on the bottom bun, followed by the crispy chicken and dill pickles, then top with the remaining bun half.
