Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the chicken cubes, olive oil, taco seasoning, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.
  3. Place the seasoned chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary.
