Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by cutting the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, roughly 1 to 1.5 inches.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they're thoroughly coated. Cover and let marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  4. While the chicken marinates, preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  5. Once marinated, remove excess marinade and arrange the chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  6. Set the air fryer to cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  7. Check for doneness with a meat thermometer, ensuring they reach 165°F (74°C).
  8. Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let rest for a few minutes before garnishing with parsley and serving with lemon wedges.
