Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds chicken breast
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup sweetened coconut flakes
- kosher salt, pepper
- olive oil cooking spray (I used Pam)
- 4 oz sweet chili sauce
Instructions
-
Cut the chicken into bite size pieces. Crack the egg in a bowl and beat with a fork. Put the panko, coconut flakes, kosher salt, and pepper in another bowl and mix together.
-
Dip each piece of chicken into the egg and then into the panko coconut breading, press the breading slightly so it sticks to the chicken.
-
Place the chicken in the air fryer basket and spray the top with olive oil cooking spray. Set the air fryer to 390 degrees for 15 minutes.
Note: Depending on the size of your air fryer, this may need to be cooked in 2 batches.
-
Serve the chicken with the sweet chili sauce for dipping.
