Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 egg beaten
  • Olive oil spray

Instructions
 

Prep the Chicken:

  • Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, about 1-2 inches each.

Mix the Coating:

  • In a bowl, mix together breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

Dip the Chicken:

  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Dip each chicken piece into the egg, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture.

Air Fry the Chicken:

  • Preheat your air fryer for 3-5 minutes. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil. Arrange the coated chicken pieces in a single layer. Spray the chicken with a little more olive oil.

Cook:

  • Air fry at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Chicken should be golden brown and crispy.

Serve:

  • Remove from the air fryer and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • You can store leftovers in an airtight container for 2-3 days. Reheat in the air fryer to keep them crispy!
  • If you need a gluten-free option, swap the breadcrumbs for gluten-free breadcrumbs.
  • Serve with ranch, BBQ sauce, or honey mustard for dipping.
