Ingredients
- 2 lb chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp Italian Seasoning
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp paprika or smoked paprika for extra flavor
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- fresh parsley chopped
- lemon slices
Instructions
- Cut the chicken breasts into evenly sized bite-sized pieces (about 1 to 1.5 inches) to ensure consistent cooking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken pieces with onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, black pepper, salt, paprika, lemon zest, lemon juice, and olive oil. Mix thoroughly until all chicken pieces are well-coated.
- Place the seasoned chicken bites in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding, as this can prevent even cooking and crispiness.
- Air fry at 200°C (390°F) for 10-12 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even browning. The chicken should be cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) with a slightly crispy exterior.
