Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb boneless chicken breast Choose fresh, high-quality chicken breasts that are juicy and tender.
  • 1-2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil Helps the seasoning adhere to the chicken and adds flavor.
  • 1-2 tablespoons taco seasoning (like Siete) Adjust according to your taste for a little extra kick.
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt Enhances the overall flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the Air Fryer to 390°F (199°C).
  2. Cut the boneless chicken breast into 1.5-inch chunks.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine chicken pieces with extra virgin olive oil and taco seasoning, ensuring even coverage.
Cooking
  1. Place the seasoned chicken bites in the preheated air fryer in a single layer.
  2. Air fry for about 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.

Notes

For extra crispiness, lightly dust with cornstarch. Add crushed red pepper flakes for more heat. Marinating in lime juice enhances flavor.
