Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken tenders or boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

  • Spray air fryer with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Rinse chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Cut chicken tenders into bite size pieces (1-inch pieces) and place in a large bowl.
  • Place olive oil, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and Italian seasoning in a small bowl and whisk to combine well.
  • Pour the seasoning mixture over the chicken and toss to coat all the pieces as completely as possible.
  • Working in batches to ensure the chicken is not overcrowded, place some (about half) of the chicken bites in the air fryer basket.
  • Cook at 380°F for 8-10 minutes, shaking chicken halfway through. Cook until the internal temperature of chicken reaches at least 165°F.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Notes:
Cube the chicken so they are even in size. This way they cook evenly. If there are larger pieces, the small ones will dry out before the bigger pieces get done. 
Use whatever seasoning blend you would like. Choose olive oil or avocado oil. Try mixing it with taco seasoning or a bbq rub. 
We like using tenders because they thaw quickly and are easy to cut in bite size pieces, you can use chicken breasts as well.
