Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken breasts about 2 large, patted dry and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer with the tray inside for 5 minutes at 390F.
  • Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel. Slice each breast into strips, then into 1-inch cubes.
  • In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder and salt. Add the chicken and toss to coat.
  • Spread the chicken in the preheated air fryer in a single layer, with a little space between pieces. Cook 10 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket and flipping the pieces halfway through.
  • The bites are done when the thickest piece reads 165F on a meat thermometer. Remove them from the basket and serve.

Notes

Cook in batches if they don't fit in one layer. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours and eat within 3 to 4 days. Reheat to 165F.
