🔪 How to Make Greek Chicken Bites in the Air Fryer

Add the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, grated garlic, dried oregano, salt and ground black pepper into a salad dressing shaker cup and shake until well combined.

Dice up your chicken into small bite sized pieces, then add to a food storage bag.

Pour the marinade over the chicken, seal up the bag and marinate in the fridge for 1 hour.

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.

Add the zucchini, bell pepper and red onion to a large mixing bowl.

Pour the chicken and any residual marinade over the top.

Toss to combine, then pour into the basket of your air fryer.  Depending on the size of your basket, you might have to make them in 2 separate batches. 

Air fry @ 400°F for 13-15 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F, when checked with a meat thermometer.

Crumble the feta cheese over the top and add in the Kalamata olives and top with fresh chopped mint, then serve.

☑️ Storage Instructions

• Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

• Freezer: You can freeze the cooked chicken and veggies for up to 2 months.

• Reheat: Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating in the air fryer or a skillet.

🍴 What to Serve with Mediterranean Chicken

The great thing about this chicken recipe is that they are an entire meal in one. If you're looking for something extra to go with it, here are some great low-carb ideas:

• Tzatziki sauce: This creamy cucumber and yogurt sauce is low in carbs and perfect for drizzling over the chicken.

• Salad: These chicken bites are delicious served with a fresh salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, red onions, and feta cheese, dressed with olive oil and this balsamic reduction.

• Cucumbers: A fresh, zesty cucumber salad is a great quick and easy side with this dish.

• Cauliflower Rice: A low-carb alternative to rice, cauliflower rice is the perfect side dish for Mediterranean chicken.

• Hummus: This roasted red pepper cauliflower hummus is amazing with this dish!

• Mushrooms: These marinated mushrooms make a simple and flavorful side.

💡 Tips

• Chop the veggies close in size to the chicken so everything cooks evenly.
• You may need to shake the basket halfway through air frying for even browning.
• For best results, use a digital meat thermometer to check for doneness.   
• If your air fryer basket is small, cook in two batches so the pieces aren’t crowded.
• Let the chicken bites rest for a few minutes before serving so the juices settle.

🔄 Substitutions and Additions

• Chicken: Swap in boneless chicken thighs if you prefer dark meat.

• Pork: You can use cubes of pork tenderloin instead of chicken if you prefer.

• Tomatoes: Add cherry tomatoes after cooking for a juicy pop of color and flavor.

• Heat: Like a kick? Add a pinch of crushed red pepper to the marinade.

• Herbs: Try a sprinkle of dill or parsley in place of mint if that’s what you have on hand.

Why is My Chicken Dry?

It may have cooked too long or the pieces were too small. Start checking a few minutes early if your air fryer runs hot.

Can I Make These Ahead of Time?

Yes! You can marinate the chicken up to 24 hours in advance and store it in the fridge until ready to cook.

Do I Have to Use Feta and Olives?

Nope! Skip them or sub with your favorite toppings. Crumbled goat cheese or diced cucumber would also be great.

Can I Reheat These in the Microwave?

You can, but it will change the texture. For best results, reheat them in the air fryer at 375°F for a few minutes.
