#KitchenRecipe Air Fry Chicken Strips
Hello Kitchen Lovers, in these uncertain times in which it is imperative to take care of our health and to #StayatHome, we believe it is important to cook and enjoy hearty meals from the comfort of home.
Today we want to share the Air Fry chicken strips, the best comfort food style we all know and love, but in an easier and healthier option which can be made at home using Breville's Air Fry Oven.
Chicken is a type of low-fat, low-calories meat, with high levels of protein and vitamins.
Some of the benefits of eating chicken include the increase in serotonin levels in the brain, improving our mood. It helps in the fight against bone strength loss, thanks to the protein injection it gives the body; it is rich in phosphorous, an essential mineral that nourishes teeth and bones, as well as kidneys and liver, among others.
This recipe is simple, perfect for times in which you don't want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen and are in the mood for a quick snack.
