Ingredients

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts diced into bite-sized pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves crushed
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon oregano

Instructions

Cut the chicken into evenly sized bites.
Toss the chicken pieces with the olive oil, crushed garlic and seasonings until well coated.
Spread the chicken bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, gently turning halfway through.
The chicken is ready when it is fully cooked all the way through and is golden on the outside. To check, select the biggest piece and cut in half - there should be no pinkness inside and any juices should run clear. If using a meat thermometer, check for an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Notes

- Nutritional values are approximate and for guidance only.
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer – Give the chicken space so it crisps up nicely.

- Use even-sized pieces - This ensures everything cooks at the same time.

- Turn halfway through cooking - This helps get that delicious, even crisp.

- Let them rest for a minute – This keeps them extra juicy before serving.
