Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken breast skinless & boneless tenders removed
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/3 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/3 cup dukkah
  • avocado oil spray
  • flaky salt for garnish
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 2–3 tbsps water as needed to thin
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 small garlic clove finely grated
  • 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • finely chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Lay the chicken breasts flat on a cutting board and cover with plastic wrap. Use a rolling pin or wine bottle to gently pound the chicken until it is about 1/2 inch thick, then sprinkle the salt on both sides.
  2. Set up three bowls with flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and a mix of panko breadcrumbs and dukkah in the third.
  3. Heat the air fryer to 400ºF.
  4. Coat each flattened chicken breast first in the flour and shake off extra, then dip into the egg mixture to coat thoroughly, and finally press into the panko and dukkah mixture until fully covered.
  5. Place the coated chicken in the air fryer basket, spray with avocado oil, and cook for 7 to 8 minutes until golden.
  6. Flip the chicken, spray again with avocado oil, and cook for another 7 to 8 minutes until crispy and cooked through.
  7. Once cooked, sprinkle the chicken with flaky salt. Keep warm in a low oven while finishing the rest.
  8. To prepare the tahini dip, whisk tahini with water, lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil until smooth and creamy, adjusting water to thin as needed, then season with salt.
  9. Garnish the cooked chicken with parsley, slice, and serve alongside the tahini dip.
