Gluten-Free Air Fryer Chicken Strips instantloss.com

I was my moms pickiest eater. I grew up on chicken fingers, French fries, and Mac and cheese— all drown in copious amounts of ketchup! You’d think with all the chicken strips I’ve consumed throughout my life that my love for them would wan, not so. I’m a strip lover for life, even though I’ve 1/2 way outgrown my ketchup obsession.

Do you have an Air Fryer? If you don’t, you should! I held out for years and finally caved to peer pressure, not only does it save you from preheating an oven but things cook in less than 1/2 the time! I own the Instant Vortex and the Power XL Air Fryer, both of these air fryers are fabulous and come highly recommended! If this isn’t on your Christmas list already, add it now! There’s still time.

I have made this recipe with two different brands of gluten-free panko bread crumbs. Both ended up tasting delicious but resulted in slightly different outcomes. The 4C Crumbs brand of gluten-free bread crumbs gave the chicken strips more of a fluffier look and texture (see the image below) as where the Good and Gather brand were more like a nugget style breading (see the image above).

Gluten-Free Air Fryer Chicken Strips

Servings 4
Author Brittany Williams instantloss.com

Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast tenders
  • 1 large egg, cracked into a small bowl and beaten until combined
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, plus more for "frying"
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free panko bread crumbs

Instructions

  1. In a medium sized bowl combine the chicken, egg, oil, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper. 

  2. In a second wide small bowl add the bread crumbs. Take a strip of chicken and coat it in the bread crumbs, then place it inside of your 6 quart Air Fryer basket in a single layer. Repeat this step until all strips are coated. 

  3. Lightly spray the strips with olive oil mist and place the basket inside of the Air Fryer housing. Air Fry at 360° for 12 minutes and flip the chicken over 1/2 way through, give another light spray of oil.

  4. Remove the chicken from the Air Fryer and serve with Strip Sauce (see note)!

Recipe Notes

Note:

  1. To make strip sauce simply mix 1 part franks red hot sauce with 1 part mayo! 
  2. Times may vary depending on your air fryer brand and the thickness of your breast strips. To check for done-ness insert a meat thermometer to the thickest part of the breast and make sure that its 165° F.

    I’m curious if my toaster oven with convection feature will do the same as an air fryer? Empty nesters and hubby is totally against another kitchen appliance.

      Hi Celia,
      Thanks so much for reaching out! Unfortunately the toaster oven will not work the same as an air fryer for this recipe. You could cook it with a convection oven but the air fryer circulates air in a different way then an convection oven circulates air, so you are not going to have the same crispness. It will still work you just won’t get that fryer crispy factor to it.

I have literally been praying for someone to come into my life that could teach me or just help! I truly believe that you’re that person.

Your group has come at such a good time for me. I just want to say thanks! I might not have lost any weight (yet) but you ‘live’ in our house. Mini muffins, lentil chili, those almond strawberry cookies… When my husband tells me how delicious these new recipes are the response is always, “Britt’s recipe!” I talk about you like we just went out for coffee Hahaha. I appreciate all the work you’re putting into your website and the fb group. I feel better about myself just being a part of it.

We got back home on Monday night and first thing T We got back home on Monday night and first thing Tuesday morning Brady and I got back to it. I’ve learned over the years that not leaving trip indulgences on the trip can be a slippery slope. As soon as we come back home it’s back to our normal grind.⁣
⁣
I ate gluten and dairy-full pizza, ate an ice cream cookie bar shaped like Mickey’s face, there was even a churro in there! In the midst of that most of my meals were still pretty healthy— I ate a taco bowl, a few salads, and tried to drink plenty of water. ⁣
⁣
I’ll be tracking again for a short time as we get back on track, I always do. I’ll post workouts and my food log in stories. If you’re curious to see one of my past back-on-tracks aka BOT, visit my October BOT highlight on Instagram. ⁣
⁣
It’s never too late to start again, you’ve just got to start. I’ve gotten back on track a million times, it doesn’t mean you can’t do it, it just means you’re as human as the rest of us! ❤️⁣
⁣
Warning: my first few days BOT are always lighter food days. I’m usually still feeling a bit overfull so I’m more light snacky. A few days in it always picks back up. These are not meal plans designed for you to follow. This is just what I’m doing and I’m being brutally honest while I do it. ⁣
⁣
Also, we have zero groceries, I’m having some delivered today since we are quarantined for two weeks post trip so today’s food should be more exciting than popcorn, Lentil Flatbread BLT’s, and leftover sweet potato crackers from trip. 🤣
3 1/2 years ago we flew to California to see if th 3 1/2 years ago we flew to California to see if the weather would help alleviate Aveys JRA. ⁣
⁣
Flying had always been an extremely uncomfortable experience for me. I was always too hot and I would have to hold myself very still so I didn’t rub the people beside me. My legs would spill under the armrests onto the other seats. I was always apologizing to those next to me because the seats were just too small. ⁣
⁣
There is a part of me that feels relieved now because my current body size is accommodated. I don’t have to squeeze myself through isles or wear the seatbelt on the largest setting, but I still carry frustration that plus sizes, though making up a large number of our populace, are not accommodated and experience embarrassment and shame while flying.⁣
⁣
So while this is a very real non-scale victory for me, I feel less joy and more motivation to continue to help push for inclusivity and comfort for all sizes. ❤️

I used to think that being smaller was impossible I used to think that being smaller was impossible for me.⁣
⁣
I used to blame my size on my bones, my upbringing, my DNA.⁣
⁣
Even when I wasn’t trying to lose weight, losing weight was always something in the back of mind looming over me. Like this big thing I needed to do but hadn’t checked off my to-do list yet.⁣
⁣
Sometimes it was all I could think about. ⁣
⁣
No one wanted to date me, even though I was a super cool, mega awesome chick. All of my friends had boyfriends and I literally only had boys that were friends. ⁣
⁣
I had back issues that my doctor wrote off as weight issues but they weren’t weight issues, they were actual issues caused by severe muscle separation. But my weight was always the answer.⁣
⁣
I found a different OB after I gave birth to Avey because she told me that if I wanted to have another baby with her I needed to lose at least 80 pounds before she’d take me as a patient again.⁣
⁣
I felt like my body betrayed me. ⁣
⁣
It betrayed me with disease, with miscarriages, still birth, emergency cesareans when I had planned for natural births, rashes, uncontrollable sweating, not fitting into a single piece of clothing at Target and irregular cycles... I could go on.⁣
⁣
It sounds sad when you put it all together like that but I wasn’t sad, well, sometimes I was sad— but it wasn’t part of my character. ⁣
⁣
I spent years trying to escape myself when what I really needed to do was befriend myself. Have enough respect for her to learn how to care for her— because I really didn’t know. And then have enough patience and trust in the new behaviors I was creating to stick with them, even when I wasn’t seeing change fast enough. ⁣
⁣
When I embarked on this health journey in 2017, it wasn’t for weight loss, that was just a happy accident. ⁣
⁣
I was in heavy pursuit of befriending my long neglected body. I knew that if I could find it within myself to care for her she’d have the tools to take care of me.⁣
⁣
And that is exactly what happened.
I love making plant based yogurts! They ferment di I love making plant based yogurts! They ferment differently than dairy based yogurts and need the help of gelatin and a refrigerator to reach true yogurt consistency.⁣
⁣
I have a recipe for Coconut Milk Yogurt on the website (instantloss.com) that is absolutely fabulous but buying canned coconut milk can get pricey. For Budget I developed a recipe using Oat Milk! It’s a tangy greek yogurt style yogurt— add berries, dried fruit, coconut flakes and a little bit of honey and you have an awesome treat! OR use it to make the gluten-free Everything Bagels! ⁣

Tip: If after refrigeration your yogurt is too thick, simply add it back to the blender and blend it back down to desired thickness. ❤️ Can’t wait for you to try it!!
