Garlic-Dill Air Fryer Chicken Breast Bites (279 Cal)
Nutrition
Cut a chicken breast into chunks, toss with garlic powder, dried dill, and pepper, air fry for 22 minutes. That's the whole recipe. No marinating, no breading, no fancy technique — just seasoned chicken that comes out golden and juicy with a light crust from the air fryer.
The key is cutting the pieces roughly the same size so they cook evenly. Don't stress about precision — just aim for bite-sized chunks, about 1.5 inches. The dill adds a subtle herby flavor that pairs especially well with rice or buckwheat. A quick spray of oil helps the outside crisp up without adding real calories.
