INGREDIENTS

5 oz chicken breast

0.25 cup low-fat buttermilk

2 tbsp almond flour

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp smoked paprika

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 medium whole-grain waffle

1 tsp avocado oil

1 tbsp pure maple syrup

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

• 2

  Slice the chicken breast into even strips and soak them in the low-fat buttermilk for 10 minutes to tenderize.

• 3

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

• 4

  Dredge each chicken strip in the almond flour mixture until thoroughly coated, then place them on the prepared baking sheet.

• 5

  Lightly brush or spray the coated chicken with avocado oil to help achieve a golden, crunchy exterior.

• 6

  Bake for 15-18 minutes, flipping the strips halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is firm.

• 7

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

• 8

  Place the toasted waffle on a plate, top with the golden chicken strips, and finish with a drizzle of pure maple syrup.
