The air fryer chicken bites are a tasty main dish suitable for the whole family.
In fact, it is a complete dish, including meat, potatoes, and vegetables. A clever and quick recipe. I prepare it in my air fryer to use faster cooking times and less oil.
You can also add other types of vegetables if you don’t like zucchini, such as eggplants or red and yellow peppers, but at the moment I can’t eat this type of vegetable and I’m looking for a thousand ways to cook zucchini deliciously.

Preparation of Air Fryer Chicken Bites
Clean the chicken breast and cut it into cubes about an inch and a half in size.
Wash and dry the zucchini, then slice it thickly.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes the same size as the chicken.
Pour the breadcrumbs into a bowl and add the grated Parmigiano Reggiano. Season with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of salt and mix carefully.
Place the chicken and vegetables in the bowl and mix carefully.
Preheat the air fryer by following the set program. Once the fryer is ready, remove the basket and add the breaded chicken and vegetables.
Cook the chicken bites at 375°F for 20-22 minutes, checking the cooking to ensure the chicken is golden and crispy.
Serve hot.
If you don’t have an air fryer, you can easily bake the chicken bites in the oven at 350°F for about 35-40 minutes.
