Healthy Air Fried Chicken Tenders

I know that I am officially a grown up now because for the past three Christmases I've asked for kitchen appliances for my presents.  Like really, how boring am I now that the only thing I can think of that I want are kitchen appliances?!? Grandmom status over here I guess.

Ah well, call me a grown-up or old but I actually have really liked every kitchen gadget I've received so far: first a dutch oven, then a grill pan, and this year was definitely the best so far because I got an AIR FRYER!!! (affiliate link - I have the philips brand!)


Annnnd then I went and made healthy air fried chicken tenders with it.  WOOT! An "air fryer" essentially fries food by circulating hot air in the unit.  You can use a little bit of oil or just spray your food with olive oil spray (like PAM) and it makes the food turn out nice and crispy like it was just dunked in a regular fryer but instead is SOOOO much more healthy for you because you only use a fraction of the amount of oil!


To make my chicken tenders I cut chicken breasts into tenders and coated them with flour, then dunked them into egg whites, and lastly coated them with panko bread crumbs. 



You really only need a very small portion of flour and panko so this recipe is still pretty low carb.

After the chicken is coated all you have to do is load it into the bin of the air fryer, spray with olive oil spray, and cook at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes.

Only 10 minutes for super crunchy and tasty chicken tenders that taste like an indulgence but for none of the extra calories! I served this for dinner one night with some ketchup (duh) and a side of roasted asparagus and my boyfriend was SO impressed.  He literally told me that he could eat that exact meal once a week for the rest of his life. I would call that a success!

Good thing I have 11 more months still to think of what appliance I want for Christmas next year because I have TONS of other ideas for things to make in my air fryer still! Stay tuned for some more yummy creations :)

Nutritional Information

My batch of chicken made two servings of  375 calories each with 18 grams of carbs, 6 grams of fat and 57 grams of protein.

Note: if you track macros exactly I would recommend weighing your egg whites, flour and panko before you dip your chicken in them, as well as after.  Subtract out the amount of egg whites/flour/panko left over in the bowl (if any) after all the chicken is coated and adjust your macros accordingly.

  6. Luckily, when our first extremely long, sweltering summer day arrived, I was by the pool perusing Claire Cook's seventh novel, Seven Year Switch, which got merited shoreline read yell outs from People, USA Today, and the New York Times. Seven Year Switch denoted the first occasion when I read one of Claire Cook's books, albeit Must Love Dogs is one of my untouched most loved motion pictures. https://www.usacheckcashingstore.com/san-diego

  18. These are great. Just a little note, you can use Honey Mustard, Thousand Island, Ranch, just take your pick of salad dressings or hot sauces to make these lovable by people that don't like ketchup, Catsup or whatever. I love ketchup, I save it for loaded hot dogs.

  19. These are excellent, I use the whole egg because the yolk is healthier than the white. Want proof? Watch this video https://youtu.be/oIF8baDO3UY. I would also like to point out that if you are a little tired of ketchup, you can use any salad dressing as a dip or hot sauce.
