Crispy Air Fryer Parmesan Chicken Bites

Ingredients

- 1 pound chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Cooking spray

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken:
- Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

2. Set Up Dredging Station:
- In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
- In another shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

3. Coat the Chicken:
- Dip each chicken cube into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully covered.
- Transfer the egg-coated chicken to the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently for the coating to adhere fully on all sides.

4. Preheat and Arrange:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
- Arrange the coated chicken cubes in a single layer in the basket, ensuring they are not touching. Work in batches if necessary.

5. Air Fry the Chicken:
- Air fry the chicken bites for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, flipping halfway through the cooking time for even crisping.

6. Serve:
- Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken bites from the air fryer.
- Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
