Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch bite-sized cubes and place them in a mixing bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
  3. Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes and toss until well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor).
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  5. Arrange the marinated chicken bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  6. Air fry for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
  7. Let rest briefly before serving with optional garnishes like chopped parsley and lemon wedges.
