Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs), cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for cooking the chicken bites evenly and getting that golden crust.
  2. Prepare the Seasoning: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. This blend will give the chicken a smoky, savory flavor.
  3. Coat the Chicken: Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the bowl with the seasoning mixture and toss thoroughly until each piece is well coated with the spices and oil.
  4. Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the seasoned chicken pieces in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to allow hot air to circulate and crisp the chicken properly.
  5. Cook the Chicken: Cook the chicken bites for 10-12 minutes in the air fryer, shaking the basket or turning the pieces halfway through. Ensure the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.
  6. Serve: Once cooked, optionally sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the hot chicken bites for extra flavor, then serve them with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside roasted vegetables.

Notes

  • You can omit Parmesan cheese to keep the recipe dairy-free or if you prefer a lighter flavor.
  • If you want extra crispy chicken bites, you can cook for an additional 1-2 minutes but monitor closely to avoid drying out.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) for food safety.
  • These chicken bites reheat well in the air fryer for maintaining crispiness.
  • Feel free to customize the seasoning by adding cayenne pepper for some heat or dried herbs for extra aroma.
