Ingredients

450 g skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

45 g butter, melted

15 ml olive oil

5 ml lemon juice (to taste)

3 cloves garlic, minced

5 ml Italian seasoning

5 ml salt

5 ml paprika

2.5 ml cayenne pepper (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the air fryer to 175°C (350°F) for 5 minutes.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine melted butter, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat thoroughly.

Step 3

Arrange the chicken pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook them in batches.

Step 4

Air fry the chicken in the preheated air fryer until it is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, which should take 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the center should register 74°C (165°F).
