Air Fryer Chicken Breast
Ingredients
16 ounces boneless chicken breast
3/4 cups dill pickle juice optional
3/4 cup super-fine almond flour
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese see note
1/2 teaspoon smoked sea salt or sea salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 eggs beaten
Avocado oil spray
Directions
Wash chicken and place in a zip-top bag. Using a meat mallet, pound to a uniform thickness, about 1/2 inch.
Place chicken in a bowl and pour pickle juice on top of it. Allow to brine in the refrigerator for up to two hours.
Preheat air fryer to 390 degrees.
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
In a separate shallow dish, beat eggs.
Drain chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Coat with eggs and then dregs in the almond flour mixture. Use your fingers to gently press the coating into the chicken. Spray both sides of the chicken with oil.
Spray the Air Fryer with oil, and add chicken. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes.
Carefully flip with a spatula. Re-spray and cook an additional 6 to 7 minutes, until golden and crispy.
