Ingredients
  

2 cups shredded cooked chicken

1 cup chopped fresh spinach

1/2 cup softened cream cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup breadcrumbs

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

1 large egg, beaten

Cooking spray

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped spinach, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended.

    Incorporate the beaten egg into the mixture and stir until evenly distributed. This will assist in binding the ingredients together.

      Using your hands, shape the mixture into small balls or bites, approximately 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Aim for about 12-15 bites.

        Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Roll each spinach and chicken ball in the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are well-coated.

          Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.

            Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Arrange the spinach and chicken bites in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch.

              Air fry the bites at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until they achieve a golden brown and crispy texture. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.

                After cooking, take the bites out of the air fryer and allow them to cool slightly before serving. They are tasty on their own or paired with your preferred dipping sauce!
