Description

Crispy, flavorful chicken bites coated with ranch seasoning and panko breadcrumbs, perfect for snacking or entertaining.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp ranch seasoning mix
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • Cooking spray


Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F.
  2. Combine panko breadcrumbs, ranch seasoning mix, and Parmesan cheese in a bowl.
  3. Dip each piece of chicken into the beaten eggs, ensuring they are well-coated.
  4. Coat the egg-dipped chicken pieces in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly.
  5. Arrange the coated chicken bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
  6. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

For extra flavor, customize the seasoning blend with spices like cayenne or chili powder. Allow the cooked bites to rest before serving for the best texture.
