INGREDIENTS

4.5 oz Ground chicken (93% lean)

2 whole Low-fat mozzarella string cheese sticks

0.5 cup Cornflakes (unsweetened, crushed)

1 large Egg

0.25 cup Marinara sauce (no sugar added)

0.5 tsp Garlic powder

0.5 tsp Onion powder

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

0.5 tsp Dried oregano

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your air fryer to 400°F and lightly spray the basket with avocado oil.

• 2

  In a medium bowl, combine the ground chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano until well mixed.

• 3

  Cut each low-fat mozzarella string cheese stick in half to create four smaller pieces.

• 4

  Divide the chicken mixture into four equal portions and flatten each portion into a thin rectangle on a piece of parchment paper.

• 5

  Place a piece of cheese in the center of each chicken rectangle and roll the meat around it, ensuring the cheese is completely sealed inside to prevent leaking.

• 6

  Whisk the egg in a small shallow bowl and place the crushed cornflakes in a separate shallow dish.

• 7

  Dip each chicken stick into the egg wash, then roll in the crushed cornflakes until evenly and thoroughly coated.

• 8

  Place the sticks in the air fryer basket and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the coating is golden and the chicken is cooked through.

• 9

  Serve the hot chicken mozzarella sticks immediately with a side of warmed marinara sauce for dipping.
