Ingredients
  

1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp Italian seasoning

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and minced garlic.

    Add the diced chicken pieces to the bowl and stir well, ensuring all the chicken is coated with the garlic butter mixture.

      Sprinkle in the onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix until the chicken is evenly seasoned.

        Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

          Carefully add the chicken bites to the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they aren’t overcrowded.

            Cook the chicken bites in the air fryer for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.

              After the chicken is cooked through and golden, remove the basket and sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the top.

                Return the basket to the air fryer and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

                  Once done, garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a lovely pop of color.

                    Serve your Cheesy Garlic Butter Chicken Bites hot and enjoy!
