01 - 340 grams boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

→ Marinade

02 - 15 milliliters olive oil
03 - 30 milliliters lemon juice
04 - 5 milliliters lemon zest

# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl.
02 - Add chicken pieces to the marinade and toss until fully coated. Refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes to develop flavor.
03 - Set air fryer to 193°C and preheat for 5 minutes.
04 - Place marinated chicken bites in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding to promote even cooking.
05 - Air fry at 193°C for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure uniform browning, until golden and cooked through.
06 - Remove chicken from air fryer and let rest for 2 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges if desired.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Marinating for longer than 30 minutes intensifies flavor.
02 - Spacing chicken pieces evenly in the air fryer prevents uneven cooking.
03 - Adjust cooking time according to air fryer model variations.
