Air Fryer Chicken Tenders

Ingredients:

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 egg white
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup Panko 
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper

Simple Directions:

1. Spray your air fryer basket with olive oil.
2. Start by cutting your chicken into bite-sized shapes. 
3. Then season your chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.
4. Set up three bowls, one will have the flour, the other the egg white (beaten, so it’s frothy), and the last bowl will have the Panko breadcrumbs.
5. Then dip your chicken into the flour, egg, and then Panko. After you finish coating each chicken nugget, add it to your air fryer basket.
6. Spray your chicken with olive oil spray.
