Ingredients  

For the Chicken

  • 4 Chicken Breast
  • 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Crushed Black Pepper
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1/4 cup Water

For the Gravy

  • 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 2 tbsp All Purpose Flour
  • 3/4 cup Whole Milk
  • Kosher Salt
  • Black Pepper, freshly cracked

Instructions 

  • Make the flour and egg mixture: In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In a second bowl, combine the egg and water and whisk.
  • Make the gravy: Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, then slowly whisk in flour, milk, salt, and pepper. Cook until thickened, then remove from heat. You can add more milk to adjust the consistency if desired.
  • Make the chicken steak: Take each chicken breast and dip it first into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and then back into the flour mixture, making sure the chicken breasts are completely coated in the flour.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is done: The Dome 2 air fryer can sync with Typhur wireless meat thermometers, to ensure accuracy, insert the probe into the thickest part of the meat, making sure the safety line is completely immersed.
    Internal temperature recommended:
    Medium 152℉-156℉ (Chef's Choice)
    Medium Well: 157℉-163℉
    Well Done: 164℉-172℉
  • Carefully position the chicken breasts within the basket and return it to the Typhur Dome 2. Choose "Air Fry" cooking mode, and set the temperature to 375℉/190℃.
    Then, press the “Start Cooking” button, select your preferred doneness, and start cooking.
  • Using a pair of oven mitts, carefully remove the chicken breasts and transfer to a heat resistant surface. Let rest for at least 3 minutes. Note that the internal temperature will continue to rise.
  • Remove the probe when cooking is complete.
  • Serve and enjoy!
