Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 8 ounces each, cut into 1/2 inch dices)
- 2 tablespoons chopped red onion
- 1/2 medium lemon (juice of)
- 1 large cloves minced garlic (or 2 small )
- 1/4 plus 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt ( and black pepper, to taste)
- 2-1/4 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2-1/4 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- 4 small cloves garlic (minced fine or through a garlic press)
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons grated pecorino romano cheese
- 2 mini cucumbers (diced)
- 1/4 cup seasoned breadcrumbs or gluten-free crumbs
- 1/2 medium haas Avocado (about 2 1/2 ounces, diced)
- Olive oil spray
- 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
Instructions
- In a large bowl combine the diced chicken breast with lemon, salt, olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, grated cheese and breadcrumbs.
- Spray the air fryer basket with oil. In batches as needed, add the chicken to the air fryer basket in a single layer so it doesn’t overcrowd the basket and air fry at 400°F for 7 to 8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway.
- Meanwhile, in a salad bowl, combine the red onion with garlic, 1 teaspoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and black pepper to taste; let it sit about 5 to 8 minutes, so the flavor of the onion mellows.
- Add the cucumbers, avocado and toss. When ready to serve, toss in chopped lettuce and finish with the remaining olive oil and vinegar, taste for salt and pepper and adjust as needed.

Notes
- Leftovers get a bit soggy so I just cook the amount I plan on eating. If you air fry half, you can refrigerate the other half before cooking, and air fry the next day.
- No air fryer? No problem! Bake breaded chicken bites at 425°F for 8 to 10 minutes. Flip them over and cook for 4 to 5 more minutes, until browned and cooked through.
