Slice the chicken breast into thin strips or nuggets to ensure even cooking.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg white. In another shallow dish, combine the almond flour, smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Dip each chicken piece into the egg white, then dredge in the almond flour mixture until lightly coated.
Lightly coat the chicken with avocado oil and place in an air fryer at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and cooked through.
While the chicken cooks, toast the paleo waffle until golden and firm.
Place the toasted waffle on a plate, top with the crispy chicken, and drizzle with pure maple syrup.
Garnish with freshly chopped chives and serve immediately.
