Cooking Steps
  1. Cut the chicken into 1-inch, bite-sized cubes and pat dry with a paper towel. Place the chicken pieces into a gallon-sized plastic bag.
  2. Cut the lemons in half and squeeze the juice into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Whisk in the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, lemon pepper, and dried basil.
  3. Transfer the marinade mixture into the bag with the chicken cubes and slosh the bag to coat the chicken thoroughly with the marinade.
  4. Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 4 hours.
  5. When ready to cook, heat the air fryer to 375?F.
  6. Place the chicken cubes in the air fryer but be sure not to overcrowd the basket. Cook in batches if needed.
  7. Cook in the air fryer at 375?F for 8 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165?F, then remove the chicken from the air fryer to a plate.
  8. Serve warm with chopped parsley and sliced lemons as optional garnishes.
