Instructions

1. Prep the Chicken: Pat boneless, skinless chicken breasts very dry with paper towels. Cut them into 1-inch bite-sized pieces.

2. Season the Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken pieces and toss thoroughly until coated in the seasoning mixture.

3. Preheat Your Air Fryer: Preheat to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.

4. Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the chicken pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket, without overcrowding.

5. Initial Cook: Air fry for 8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.

6. Add Parmesan: Open the basket and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken.

7. Final Cook: Continue air frying for another 4-6 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature is 165°F (74°C).

8. Rest and Garnish: Remove the chicken, let it rest for 2-3 minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

Pat the chicken dry for a crispier texture. Preheat the air fryer and avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking. Adjust spices and herbs to preference, and use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor.
