Description

A delicious and healthy salad featuring crispy air-fried chicken tenders on a bed of fresh greens, topped with a sweet and tangy honey mustard dressing.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) chicken tenders or chicken breast cut into strips
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk (or plain yogurt + a splash of milk)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine buttermilk, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Marinate the chicken tenders in the mixture for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  3. Place the marinated chicken tenders in the air fryer basket and cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and cooked through.
  4. Serve the chicken tenders on a bed of mixed greens and drizzle with honey mustard dressing before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, let the chicken marinate longer, up to a few hours. You can customize the dressing and add toppings like cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, or avocado.
