Ingredients
  

1 lb chicken breast, chopped into small bite-sized pieces

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

4 cloves garlic, finely 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, blend the melted butter with the minced garlic.

    Incorporate the chicken pieces into the bowl and stir thoroughly, making sure each piece is coated with the garlic butter.

      Add the onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir until the chicken is uniformly seasoned.

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

          Gently place the chicken bites in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not crowded.

            Air fry the chicken bites for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket midway for consistent cooking.

              Once the chicken is fully cooked and has a golden brown exterior, remove the basket and sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.

                Put the basket back into the air fryer and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

                  After cooking, garnish with freshly chopped parsley to add a vibrant touch.

                    Serve your Cheesy Garlic Butter Chicken Bites hot and savor the flavors!
