Sometimes it’s the little things that save calories and carbs (without sacrificing flavor)- and in this case- a huge boost of fiber and protein. Something like 90% of people don’t get their daily fiber needs met. Fiber helps your gut health. It can help with weight management too. So instead of using panko or regular bread crumbs- I made my own with a single everything bagel. One bagel is only 80 calories and has 38g of fiber! You should be aiming for at least 25g a day, so these get you there easily and they don’t bloat! To make this chicken- simply pound out four small chicken breasts so they’re a bit thinner. Whisk two eggs and set aside. Cube one bagel and air fry for 9-10 min or until crispy like croutons. Blend to fine crumbs. Mix with 1/2 cup grated fresh Parmesan, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, salt and pepper. Dip each chicken breast in the egg and let the excess drip off. Coat well in the crumb mixture. Coat with olive oil cooking spray on both sides (or drizzle with a little olive oil) and air fry for 10-12 min or until cooked through. Serve with marinara or a drizzle of hot honey. I have a link with a discount for you. I love them that much that I asked for one. So dm me if you want it- or just go to Whole Foods, Amazon, Walmart or their site. Their bread is amazing too!
