Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb 450g boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup 120g breadcrumbs (plain or panko)
- ½ cup 50g grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp 3g Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp 2g garlic powder
- ¼ cup 60ml marinara sauce
- ½ cup 50g shredded mozzarella cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat the Air Fryer
- I preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3–5 minutes to ensure a crispy, even cook.
Prepare the Chicken
- In a mixing bowl, I combine 1 cup breadcrumbs, ½ cup grated Parmesan, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, ½ tsp garlic powder, salt, and pepper. I coat the bite-sized chicken pieces thoroughly in the mixture, pressing to ensure the coating sticks.
Cook the Chicken
- I place the coated chicken pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding. I cook for 8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even browning.
Add Sauce and Cheese
- I carefully spoon ¼ cup marinara sauce over the chicken bites, then sprinkle ½ cup shredded mozzarella on top. I return the basket to the air fryer and cook for 2–3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve
- I remove the bites from the air fryer and serve immediately with extra marinara for dipping.
Notes
- Adjust cooking time based on chicken size.
- Serve with extra marinara for dipping.
