This Healthy Crispy Chicken with Sweet Mustard Dip is truly a game changer. If you don’t have an air fryer run to the store to get one, because it makes this chicken so crispy and will satisfy any craving for flash fried chicken!
Knox’s class went on a field trip to Chick-Fil-A and I’m still craving a Spicy Chicken Sandwich on a multi-grain bun with extra pickles. That’s my go to order, and oh, how I love it so! I refrained from ordering it and here’s why:
If you follow me on Instagram then you’ve heard I’m working hard to get in the best shape of my life. I’m working with a personal trainer and have been experimenting with how certain types of foods make me feel. I’m realizing that gluten and certain foods cause severe inflammation and make me so lethargic. Will I still have a Spicy Chicken Sandwich every now and then? Absolutely! I’m all about that healthy balance and satisfaction!
If you’re craving the crunch of fried foods this recipe totally fills the void without all the fat and calories. This Crispy “Fried” Chicken is low carb, gluten-free and Paleo and can also be cooked in the oven. I did try it both ways and could definitely tell a difference. I am loving my air fryer and it has made cooking “bad” foods a little healthier!
I got this modified recipe from my trainer who recommended I get this recipe book when I started weight training. I am loving the recipes and can’t wait to try and share more. Until then, try a few of my other favorite healthy recipes like my Crockpot Hawaiian, Sriracha or Soy Sauce Chicken. Enjoy!
