How many WW points is this now?! Click on the link below and it will take you to the recipe I made within your own WW app. Your specific points will be calculated, and you can track that.
Here is what you will need to make this recipe:
- Chicken tenderloins
- Flour
- Italian Panko breadcrumbs
- Reduced-fat parmesan cheese
- Liquid egg whites
- Seasonings
And of course, an air fryer. I love my double basket air fryer. You can purchase that here
Let's Get Started!
The first thing you will need to do it cut up the chicken tenderloins. I find that cutting each one into three strips works the best. They are not too thick or too thin, the perfect size. Below is how they should typically look like, before breading.
A quick tip is to press down the chicken with the knife to make sure the piece is flat. It makes the chicken easier to cut.
You can also grab my knife set here. These are the best knives ever!
Then in a small, shallow bowl, combine the flour, breadcrumbs, parmesan
Then just whisk it all together!
In another one of the tupperware containers, I will pour my egg whites. I prefer to use liquid egg whites because cracking eggs can be messy and the consistency of the liquid is really great for recipes like this. If you want to use an egg, just whisk it up.
One by one, dip each chicken fry in the egg then coat in the flour mixture. Place in a greased air fryer
Try not to overlap/ let them touch; however, that can be a bit difficult. Just do your best.
Always air fry the breaded chicken for a little bit before spraying with cooking spray again. This allows the chicken to heat up and the coating to get a bit crispy before being covered in a liquid. If you spray too soon, the oil will just seep into the breading and you will not get that crunch.
I always recommend butter flavored spray. I love the Public version, it is basically actual butter. So good!
Don't forget to flip the chicken over!
I enjoy my chicken parm dippers with my zero-point tomato sauce. It tastes amazing and allows you to save your points for something else!
