5 oz chicken breast

0.25 cup low-fat buttermilk

2 tbsp whole wheat flour

0.5 tsp smoked paprika

0.25 tsp onion powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

PREPARATION

• 1

  Place the chicken breast between two sheets of parchment paper and pound to an even thickness of about half an inch.

• 2

  Submerge the chicken in a small bowl with the buttermilk and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

• 3

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

• 4

  Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, letting the excess liquid drip off, then dredge thoroughly in the flour mixture until fully coated.

• 5

  Lightly coat the breaded chicken on both sides with the avocado oil using a kitchen sprayer or brush.

• 6

  Place the chicken in the air fryer basket and cook at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the crust is golden and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.

• 7

  Toast the whole grain bun in a dry pan until warm, then assemble the sandwich with the chicken, crisp pickles, and lettuce.
