Air Fryer Chicken Bites

Maybe not the prettiest, but they were good! I made these “heart-shaped” for the kids and pitched them as “heart-shaped dino bites” to get their interest because I couldn’t make dinosaurs 🤣

Note: The ingredients do not have to be 100% precise for this recipe. It all gets blended together, and you won’t notice slightly more or less of something.

Ingredients:

  • 2 thin-sliced chicken breasts, uncooked

  • About 1 large sweet potato, cooked (yellow is my favorite)

  • About 1/4 red onion, chopped

  • 1 egg

  • 1 tsp cornstarch

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Peel the potatoes. Cook them in boiling water until you can smash them with a fork.

  2. Using a food processor, blend all the ingredients together.

  3. Set the air fryer to 360 degrees.

  4. Spray the basket.

  5. Using your hands, form the chicken into a normal-looking chicken nugget or attempt a “fun” shape for the kids.

  6. Spray the tops of them.

  7. Cook for about 15 minutes or until the insides are fully cooked. Flip halfway through. (Note: They will feel slightly “fluffier” inside because of the potatoes.)

  8. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce!
