These air fryer chicken tenders, made without breading, are a delicious and versatile option for a quick, gluten free meal. They're perfect for meal prep, as they can be stored in the fridge for several days.
Combine the chicken tenderloins with salt, paprika, and Italian seasoning in a large bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and toss to ensure all pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning and oil.
Arrange the seasoned chicken tenderloins in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure not to overcrowd the basket to allow for even cooking.
Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking.
Start checking for doneness after 8 minutes. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is no longer pink in the center.
Remove the chicken tenderloins from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Pair them with sweet potato fries and your favorite dipping sauce, or use them in various dishes like salads, soups, and pasta.
