Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless chicken breast
- 1–2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1–2 tablespoons taco seasoning (like Siete brand)
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, if needed
Instructions
1. Preheat the air fryer to 390°F.
2. Cut the chicken into 1.5-inch chunks using a cutting board and sharp knife, then add the cubed chicken to a medium bowl.
3. Toss the chicken with olive oil and taco seasoning until fully coated. Adjust amounts to taste based on the seasoning used.
4. Add the seasoned chicken bites to the preheated air fryer in a single layer.
5. Cook for 10–12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
