Ingredients
1 lb (454g) skinless, boneless chicken breast, cubed
1 tbsp (15ml) olive oil
1 tbsp (15g) lemon pepper seasoning
1/2 tsp (2.5g) garlic powder
Dill or parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Combine chicken cubes in a mixing bowl.
Add olive oil and toss to coat the chicken evenly.
Sprinkle lemon pepper seasoning and garlic powder on top. Mix well.
Transfer seasoned chicken to the air fryer basket, ensuring it is in a single layer.
Air fry for 10 minutes, then flip the chicken bits and cook for an additional 2 minutes or until golden and crispy.
Garnish with fresh dill or parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
For extra crisped results, dry the chicken thoroughly with paper towels before seasoning.
If using chicken thighs instead of breasts, adjust cook time slightly, as thighs take a few minutes longer.
Check the ingredients list of lemon pepper seasoning to ensure it is free from pork-derived additives.
For a vegan version, substitute chicken with tofu cubes and use a plant-based seasoning blend.
