👩‍🍳 Instructions

1
Pat the chicken breasts dry and cut into roughly 1-inch bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
2
In a medium bowl, combine the chicken pieces with the olive oil, taco seasoning, and salt. Toss until evenly coated.
3
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes. Lightly grease the basket if needed.
4
Arrange the seasoned chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving small gaps between pieces for air circulation.
5
Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 8–10 minutes, shaking or flipping the basket halfway through so the pieces brown evenly. Tip: Don't overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if necessary.
6
Check that the internal temperature of the largest pieces reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove and let rest 2–3 minutes before serving.

Pro Tips

Substitutions: Use boneless skinless thighs if preferred (adjust cook time slightly). For gluten-free, choose a certified gluten-free taco seasoning. Make-ahead: Cooked chicken keeps in the fridge for up to 4 days and freezes up to 3 months. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3–5 minutes for best texture.
