Ingredients
-
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
-
2 tablespoons avocado oil
-
1 tablespoon white vinegar
-
1 ½ teaspoons dry ranch dressing mix (such as Hidden Valley Ranch®)
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
-
3 tablespoons shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
-
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Directions
-
Combine chicken, avocado oil, white vinegar, ranch powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Stir well until the chicken is coated, cover, and marinate in the fridge for 30 to 60 minutes, but not much longer, as the texture will become mushy.
-
Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place chicken cubes in the air fryer basket in a single layer, not touching.
-
Air fry until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, flipping once when the edges start to brown, being sure not to overcook, 8 to 11 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Your cooking time may vary depending on the brand and size of your air fryer, and you may need to cook in batches.
-
Sprinkle the chicken with Cheddar cheese. Return to the air fryer until cheese melts, for about 30 seconds. Serve warm, garnished with chopped parsley.
Cook's Tip:
If you don't have avocado oil, sub vegetable or canola oil.
