Main Ingredients

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

Preparation

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are evenly sized for uniform cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat. Let marinate for 30 minutes.

Cooking

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F for best results.
Place the chicken pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking.

Serving

Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite sides.

Storage

Store any leftover chicken bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer to regain crispiness.

Notes

Pro Tips: Ensure even chicken piece sizes for uniform cooking. Preheat the air fryer for optimal results.
Ingredient Substitutions: Chicken thighs can be used instead of breasts for a juicier option. Adjust cooking time if necessary.
How to Serve: Pair with a fresh salad or pasta for a complete meal.
Storage & Freshness: Store in an airtight container and consume within 3 days for best freshness.
Make-Ahead Tips: Marinate the chicken up to a day in advance to save time on busy days.
