Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and lemon juice until well combined.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, mix the almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and grated parmesan cheese.
Step 4
Slice each chicken breast in half to create two thin pieces, resulting in 8 pieces total.
Step 5
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and then brush each piece with olive oil on both sides.
Step 6
Dip each chicken piece first into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, and then coat it with the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating adheres.
Step 7
Lightly grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray or a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 8
Arrange the coated chicken pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Step 9
Cook the chicken in the air fryer for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Step 10
Remove the crispy chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 11
Serve your sugar-free crispy chicken with a side of your choice, such as a fresh salad or steamed vegetables.
