Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs

Directions

  1. 1

    Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes.

  2. 2

    In a medium mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt and pepper. Whisk until well combined.

  3. 3

    Preheat air fryer to 400° F for 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and use a spoon to toss gently until all of the chicken pieces are coated.

  5. 5

    Pour the panko breadcrumbs into a large zip-top bag. Add the chicken pieces to the bag, seal, and shake to coat the chicken in the panko.

  6. 6

    Add the chicken to the air fryer basket in a single layer, with a bit of space in between each piece of chicken (cook in batches if needed). Air fry at 400° F for 5 minutes, then flip and cook for 4-5 minutes on the second side, until cooked through to 165° F in the center. Serve immediately
