Ingredients
  

Chicken Bites
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
Coating
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix or homemade ranch seasoning
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for moisture

Method
 

Prepare the Chicken
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken pieces with olive oil and ranch seasoning mix. Toss until well coated.
  2. Set up a breading station with one bowl for the beaten egg and another for the panko breadcrumbs.
Bread the Chicken
  1. Dip each chicken piece into the egg, allowing excess to drip off, then coat with panko breadcrumbs.
  2. Place the breaded chicken bites on a plate or tray.
Cook the Chicken
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Arrange the chicken bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve
