Calories: 106kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken tenderloins
  • 1 cup pretzels (40 grams)
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tbsp whole wheat flour (21 grams)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp paprika

Instructions

  • Cut chicken tenderloins into bite size pieces.  Pre-heat air fryer to 400 degrees.
  • Add eggs to a small shallow dish and whisk.  Set aside.
  • Add pretzels, flour, salt, pepper, and paprika to a food processor and pulse until the pretzel pieces are roughly 1/8" diameter or smaller.  Pour into a shallow dish.
  • Dip chicken pieces into eggs, then dip into pretzel mixture and press the flour coating onto the chicken.  Repeat with all chicken pieces.
  • Arrange coated chicken pieces in air fryer in a single layer, trying to avoid having them touch (you may need to do this in more than one batch).  Spray lightly with coconut or olive oil.  Air fry for about 8 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Serve with dipping sauces and fresh veggies.
