Instructions
Preheat air fryer to 390 degrees for 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, breadcrumbs, and parmesan.
In another small bowl, combine the dried parsley, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Trim any excess fat from chicken breast. Slice into 1/2-inch thick strips, then each slice into 2 to 3 nuggets.
Sprinkle the chicken pieces with the seasoning mixture and then dip each piece into the breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere.
Place nuggets in the air fryer basket, in a single layer without touching. Cook in batches if necessary.
Air fry for 6 minutes, flip them over, and air fry for another 3 to 4 minutes. Check nuggets for an internal temperature of 165°F.
Remove nuggets from basket with tongs and set onto a plate to cool.
Serve right away with your favorite dipping sauce.
