INGREDIENTS

5 oz chicken breast

0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk

1 tsp lemon juice

2 tbsp almond flour

1 tsp smoked paprika

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tsp avocado oil

1 medium whole grain waffle

1 tbsp sugar-free maple syrup

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a small bowl, whisk together the unsweetened almond milk and lemon juice to create a dairy-free buttermilk substitute.

• 2

  Place the chicken breast in the mixture and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes to tenderize.

• 3

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

• 4

  Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting the excess liquid drip off, then dredge it thoroughly in the seasoned almond flour mixture.

• 5

  Lightly coat the breaded chicken with avocado oil and place it in the air fryer basket.

• 6

  Air fry at 375°F for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the exterior is golden-brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

• 7

  While the chicken is finishing, toast the whole grain waffle until it is warm and slightly firm.

• 8

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