Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch cubes.

In a bowl, whisk together the egg whites and plain Greek yogurt until smooth.

In another bowl, mix the whey protein powder, almond flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (390°F).
Step 5
Dip each chicken piece into the egg white and yogurt mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Step 6
Then, dredge the coated chicken piece in the dry ingredient mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the coating to the chicken.
Step 7
Place the coated chicken nuggets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. If necessary, cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Step 8
Lightly spray the nuggets with olive oil spray to enhance crispiness.
Step 9
Air-fry the nuggets at 200°C (390°F) for 12-15 minutes or until fully cooked and golden brown. Flip the nuggets halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crisping.
