Air Fryer Chicken Breast Bites
These easy naked Air Fryer Chicken Bites with no breading use boneless chicken breast chunks seasoned with Italian dressing, dried herbs, and spices. I like to think of them as grown up chicken nuggets, and they’re so versatile! I air fry them for dinner and save the other batch for lunches for the week. I love using my air fryer for cooking chicken breasts! What I love about this air fryer chicken breast version, it’s quicker than my brined Air Fryer Chicken Breast recipe because there’s no need to marinate the chicken very long. Some other chicken breast favorites are Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan, and my favorite Air Fryer Chicken Sandwich.
