🍗Crispy Garlic-Parmesan Chicken Bites (Weeknight Favorite)
Total time: 25 minutes
Serves: 2–3
Difficulty: So easy, you’ll wonder why you ever preheated an oven.
Ingredients:
2 chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tbsp olive oil
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp smoked paprika
Salt & pepper to taste
Optional: a dash of chili flakes for extra zing
Instructions:
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Toss the chicken bites in olive oil, then coat them evenly with Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, and seasonings.
Lay them out in a single layer in your air fryer basket (no crowding — let them breathe!).
Air fry for 12–15 minutes, shaking halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Serve with a dip of your choice — we recommend this creamy garlic aioli that makes everything taste fancy.
Pro tip: These bites reheat perfectly in the air fryer. That’s right — your leftovers will taste fresh enough to fool guests.
