Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced into bite-sized chunks

4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp dried Italian herbs

1/2 tsp paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnishing)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, onion powder, Italian herbs, paprika, salt, and pepper to make a delicious marinade.

    Introduce the diced chicken pieces to the bowl and thoroughly coat them in the garlic butter blend. Allow them to marinate for a minimum of 15 minutes for maximum flavor absorption.

      Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for roughly 5 minutes.

        Spread the marinated chicken bites in a single layer within the air fryer basket, ensuring there is enough space for proper cooking.

          Fry the chicken bites for 10-12 minutes, giving the basket a shake halfway through for an even crispness.

            When they are golden brown and fully cooked, carefully take the chicken bites out of the air fryer and arrange them on a serving platter.

              Top with freshly chopped parsley and accompany with lemon wedges for an added burst of flavor.
