Instructions
1
Prep
Cut 384g chicken breast into 12 bite-size cubes. In a medium bowl, combine chicken with 1.5 tbsp olive oil, zest of 1 lemon, 1.5 tbsp lemon juice, 2 grated garlic cloves, 1 tbsp parsley, 0.5 tbsp oregano, 0.5 tsp thyme, 0.4 tsp salt, 0.2 tsp pepper. Toss thoroughly, rest 5 minutes.
2
Roast
Preheat air fryer to 200°C (400°F) for 3 minutes. Arrange all 12 cubes in single layer with space between. Spray lightly with olive oil, air-fry 10–12 minutes, shaking basket halfway, until golden and internal temp reaches 74°C (165°F).
3
Rest
Cool all chicken fully on a rack, about 5 minutes. Portion into 2 airtight containers or freezer bags, 6 bites each. Refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze up to 60 days.

Plate
Serve chilled from fridge or reheated (2–3 minutes at 180°C if refrigerated, 5–7 minutes if frozen). Pair with baby carrots, celery sticks, or yogurt dip for extra fiber and crunch.
