About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 5 3/5 oz chicken breast
- 1 brioche bun
- 1 2/5 oz egg whites
- 0.88 oz cornflakes
- to taste lettuce
- to taste Cajun seasoning
Sauce
- 0.35 oz yoghurt
- 0.35 oz garlic mayo
- to taste paprika
- to taste parsley
Instructions
- 1Place the cornflakes in a resealable bag; add paprika, Cajun seasoning, and a pinch of salt, then seal and crush the flakes until they form coarse crumbs.
- 2Separate two shallow bowls: one for the egg whites and one for the seasoned cornflake crumbs.
- 3Butterfly the chicken breast by slicing it horizontally without cutting all the way through, then open it like a book to create a thinner piece.
- 4Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper.
- 5Dip the chicken piece into the bowl of egg whites, ensuring it is fully coated.
- 6Transfer the egg‑coated chicken to the bowl of crushed cornflakes, pressing gently so the crumbs adhere; repeat the egg‑white and crumb coating if a thicker crust is desired.
- 7Preheat the air fryer to 356°F (350°F).
- 8Arrange the coated chicken in a single layer in the air‑fryer basket; spray lightly with cooking oil for extra crispness.
- 9Air‑fry for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the coating is golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 167°F (165°F).
- 10While the chicken cooks, prepare the sauce by mixing yoghurt, garlic mayo, paprika, and parsley until smooth.
- 11Toast the brioche bun halves lightly in a pan or toaster, if desired.
- 12Spread a generous amount of the garlic‑yoghurt sauce on both the top and bottom halves of the bun.
- 13Place lettuce leaves on the bottom bun, then add the hot, crispy chicken breast.
- 14Cover with the top bun, press gently, and serve immediately.
