    4 Dip the chicken in flour, then egg and finally breadcrumbs. Place in the air fryer and cook for 10 minutes until cooked through.

    5 In a bowl, place Brussels sprouts, pour over boiling water and sit for 10 minutes. Drain and place in the air fryer for 12 minutes or until crispy.

    6 For the lemon and tahini yoghurt, place all ingredients into a bowl and whisk.
