Preheat your air fryer to 400°F and lightly coat the basket with avocado oil.
Slice the chicken breast into even strips and pat them thoroughly dry with a paper towel.
In a small shallow bowl, whisk the egg until smooth.
In a second shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Dip each chicken strip into the egg wash, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the almond flour mixture until fully coated.
Place the coated chicken strips in the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken cooks, toast the whole grain waffle until warm and slightly crisp.
Place the toasted waffle on a plate, top with the crispy chicken strips, and finish with a drizzle of pure maple syrup.
