Sometimes the simplest recipes are the best. These crispy chicken strips are a creation by our Elmwood trainer Danielle Veilleux. Her goal…to make a tasty chicken tender that is packed with protein, low in fat and lacked the net carbs that would be typically be in a breaded or coated version. With over a half dozen different flavors of protein chips available from Quest you can keep your taste buds guessing and cravings satisfied.
Ingredients (make two servings):
o 1/2 lb thinly sliced organic chicken breast
o 3 bags of Quest Protein Chips (pick your favorite flavor)
o All purpose flour
o 2 cage free eggs
Instructions:
Using three separate bowls fill the first with flour, the second with lightly beaten eggs and the third with crushed Quest chips. Dust each chicken strip thoroughly in flour, then dip in the egg wash and finally dredge in the crushed chips being careful to cover the entire strip.
The dipping and dredging process can get a bit messy so be sure to use large enough bowls to keep everything contained. It also helps to keep at least one hand dry during the coating process!
Set the air fryer to 325 degrees. Cook chicken for seven minutes then flip and cook for an additional four minutes.
Enjoy with your favorite salsa or low calorie dip that compliments the chip flavor you chose!
