Ingredients
  

  • 1-1/2 lbs Chicken breast boneless, skinless
  • 4-1/2 oz Unbleached all-purpose flour can substitute with almond flour to make it gluten-free.
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 3 Eggs whisked
  • 1-1/2 cups Bread crumbs use ground up pork rinds for gluten-free
  • 1/3 oz Avocado oil spray
  • 1-1/2 cups Plain Greek yogurt
  • 1-1/2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 3/4 tsp Dried dill
  • 3/4 tsp Onion powder
  • 12 Carrots (small) cut into sticks

Equipment

  • Air fryer

Method
 

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 370ºF (190ºC).
  2. Cut the chicken into roughly 2-inch (5 cm) pieces.
  3. Prepare a breading station: Add the flour, salt, and pepper to a bowl. Add the whisked egg to a second bowl and the bread crumbs to a third. Coat each chicken piece in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip it in the egg and coat it in the bread crumbs.
  4. Place the chicken nuggets in the air fryer in an even layer and spray them with oil. Work in batches if needed to prevent overcrowding. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, until crispy and cooked through, flipping halfway and spraying with more oil on the second side.
  5. Meanwhile, combine the yogurt, garlic powder, dill, and onion powder to make the dip.
  6. Divide the nuggets and carrot sticks evenly between plates. Serve with dip and enjoy!
