Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Ranch-Crusted Chicken Bites

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, about 1 to 2 inches in size, and place in a mixing bowl.
In the bowl, add ranch seasoning and Parmesan cheese, then toss until well-coated.
Add the breadcrumbs and press them into the chicken until fully coated.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and arrange chicken bites in a single layer.
Air fry for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time.
Once cooked, remove from the air fryer and let cool for a minute. Serve immediately with dipping sauce.
