Ingredients

  • 3 chicken breasts boneless and skinless
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ⅓ cup Super Fine Almond Flour
  • 2 cloves garlic grated
  • 1 teaspoon salt divided
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Olive oil spray

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat air fryer @400°F for 5 minutes.
  2. Take each chicken breast and cut them in half, making 6 thinner chicken cutlets. Pat both sides with paper towels to make sure they are completely dry.
  3. In a small bowl, add in the mayonnaise, half the salt and garlic, then mix to combine.
  4. In another bowl, add in the grated parmesan cheese, almond flour, dried oregano, remaining salt and ground black pepper and whisk to combine. I like to add it to a food processor after I’ve grated the parmesan cheese, to better mix everything together.
  5. Take each piece of chicken and spread the mayonnaise mixture over the top.
  6. Cover the mayonnaise mixture in the breading. Repeat with the remaining 5 pieces of chicken.
  7. Place the chicken in your air fryer basket that’s been sprayed with olive oil. Also spray the tops of the chicken generously with the olive oil.
  8. Air fry @400°F for 12-14 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F, when checked with a meat thermometer. Cooking times will vary depending on the thickness of your chicken. This is why it’s always best to check the internal temperature.
  9. I like to serve them with a squeeze of lemon juice and the garlic aioli in this recipe for dipping.
