Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

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 well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

    Add the beaten egg to the mixture and stir until it's evenly mixed in. This will help bind everything together.

      Use your hands to form the mixture into small balls or bites, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. You should have around 12-15 bites.

        Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Roll each chicken and spinach ball in the breadcrumbs, coating them well.

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

            Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Arrange the spinach and chicken bites in a single layer, making sure they are not touching.

              Cook the bites in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. You may need to cook in batches depending on your air fryer size.

                Once cooked, remove the bites from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. They are delicious on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce!
