Crispy Air Fryer Parmesan Chicken Bites

Ingredients

- 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Cooking spray

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken
- Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, ensuring uniform size for even cooking.

2. Create the Breading
- In a shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to blend the flavors.

3. Prepare the Egg Wash
- In another bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.

4. Coat the Chicken
- Dip each chicken piece into the beaten eggs, ensuring full coverage, then transfer to the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently so the breadcrumbs adhere to the chicken completely.

5. Preheat the Air Fryer
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (about 200°C) for optimal crisping, usually taking around 5 minutes.

6. Arrange and Cook
- Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the breaded chicken pieces in a single layer in the basket, ensuring they do not overlap.
- Spray the tops of the chicken pieces lightly with cooking spray to help achieve a golden crust.
- Air fry the chicken at 400°F for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F for safe consumption.

7. Serve and Enjoy
- Once done, remove the chicken bites from the air fryer and let them rest for a minute or two. Serve hot and enjoy as a delightful snack.
