Calories: 285kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup corn meal
- 2 tablspoons fresh lemon zest
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, finely chopped
- ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¾ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ cup gluten-free all purpose flour
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 2 large (approximately 10-ounce) chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
- olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
- Add the corn meal, lemon zest, thyme, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper to a large, shallow bowl. Mix to blend evenly and set aside.
- Add the flour to a second large, shallow bowl, and the egg to a third.
- Sprinkle the chicken breasts lightly with salt and pepper, and one at a time, coat them with the flour lightly and evenly. Then dip them into the egg, being sure they’re well coated. Now place each breast on top of the corn meal mixture and gently press down so that it adheres to it, and do the same thing on the other side, and edges.
- Line the bottom of the air fryer with foil and lightly spray the rack with olive oil. Place the coated chicken on the rack and then spray the top surface of each one with the olive oil.
- For the GoWISE USA Air Fryer, use the Preset Chicken setting for 25 minutes at 430° F. Or, for the smaller fryer with a basket, use the Preset Chicken setting for 2o minutes at 400° F.
- Let the air fryer cool down and wait for the indicator that it’s ready to open.
- Serve!
