These Chicken Parm Bites are a favorite dinner in our house! The chicken gets so perfectly crispy in the air fryer and the layer of sauce and melty cheese is just perfect!
Ingredients
- 3 cups crisp rice cereal
- 3/4 teaspoon each paprika, sea salt, & pepper
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil mayonnaise
- 1.25 lbs chicken thighs, cubed
- 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Add the cereal and spices to a gallon sealable bag and roll with a rolling pin until the cereal is broken down.
- In a bowl, mix together the mayo and chicken cubes. Add a few chicken cubes to the bag. Shake the bag until the chicken cubes are completely coated.
- Remove the chicken from the bag and place in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Continue until there is no more room at the bottom of the basket. Air fry at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.
- Top the chicken with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese. Air fry for another minute, or until the cheese melts.
- Enjoy! (You may need to do another round depending on how big your air fryer is.)
