Ingredients
  

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried parsley

1 teaspoon dried thyme

½ teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Begin by preheating your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.

    In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, dried parsley, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a flavorful garlic butter mixture.

      Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the bowl and pour the garlic butter mixture over them. Toss everything together until the chicken is evenly coated in the buttery goodness.

        Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and toss once more to ensure everything is well mixed.

          Transfer the coated chicken bites into the air fryer basket in a single layer. Make sure they’re not overcrowded; you might need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.

            Cook in the air fryer for about 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. The chicken should be golden and cooked through.

              Once done, remove the chicken bites from the air fryer and sprinkle them with fresh chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.

                Serve your delicious garlic butter chicken bites warm as a perfect cozy fall dish!
