Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts Tender and easy to work with
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil For a crispy finish with a hint of flavor
Seasonings
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder Adds wonderful warmth and depth
  • 1 teaspoon Onion powder Enhances the savory essence
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika For a smoky touch and beautiful color
  • 1 teaspoon Salt To elevate all the flavors
  • ½ teaspoon Pepper For that subtle bite
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese (optional) Adds a delightful, cheesy crisp

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Toss the chicken pieces into the seasoning mix until each piece is well-coated.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Place the chicken bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  2. Cook for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  3. Check for doneness; there should be no pink inside. Add Parmesan cheese during the last 2 minutes if desired.
  4. Remove from the air fryer and enjoy your delicious creation!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for about 5-7 minutes.
