The key to this dish lies in selecting the right ingredients—simple yet full of flavor, just like the meals I grew up on.

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Zest and juice of 1 large lemon
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) while you prepare the chicken.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the chicken pieces with olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Let it sit for 10 minutes to marinate.
  3. In a shallow dish, combine flour and panko breadcrumbs.
  4. Coat each chicken piece in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  5. Place the coated chicken bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  6. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway, until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Remove from the air fryer and let cool slightly before serving.
