I just love how easy it is to make these Instant Pot Duo Crisp Boneless Chicken Bites! We love getting fried chicken bites with white country gravy, french fries, and garlic bread from Whataburger. That was the inspiration for this recipe. How could I make one of our favorite fast food dinners healthier??? Well, air fry the boneless chicken bites and bake the french fries in the oven!!!!
It kind of resembles the thought behind the books Eat this not that.
I guess maybe I could have titled this recipe Instant Pot Air Fryer Lid Chicken Nuggets also…….
Now we like to dip our Instant Pot Duo Crisp Boneless Chicken Bites in white gravy. You could toss these in boneless wing sauce or bbq wing sauce after air frying them just as easily if you prefer that instead.
Also, we used panko breadcrumbs to make these a bit crispier without using any avocado oil spray. You could use regular breadcrumbs in place of the panko breadcrumbs if that’s what you have on hand. They turn out just as good either way.

Can you air fry in an Instant Pot Duo?
If you don’t already know……. You can turn your Instant Pot into an air fryer too!!! Either by purchasing a Mealthy Crisp Lid, Instant Pot Air Fryer Lid, or by purchasing an Instant Pot Duo Crisp plus Air Fryer. Rather than purchasing an air fryer lid plus the air fryer basket to use in our 8 qt. Instant Pot Duo that we already had I decided to purchase an 8 qt. Instant Pot Duo Crisp plus Air Fryer since you get a pressure cooker lid, air fryer lid, and the accessories needed with it. We are very pleased with our purchase!
This is our second air fryer recipe that we have made in our Instant Pot. The first one was Instant Pot Duo Crisp Air Fryer Breaded Chicken Breasts. It turned out very well also!!! We are loving the Instant Pot air frying option!!
Ingredients – Instant Pot Duo Crisp Boneless Chicken Bites
- 1.8 lbs Chicken Breasts
- Seasoning of choice (We use Red Rub or Tony Chachere’s)
- 8 oz. box Panko Breadcrumbs
- Sides or dip of your choice (we like a country white gravy, french fries, & garlic bread)
Instructions- Instant Pot Duo Crisp Boneless Chicken Bites
#1. First, cut your chicken breast into bite-size pieces.
#2. Next, place them in a bowl and sprinkle them with your seasoning of choice. We get our chicken breast pre-seasoned from our local grocery store to save us time in the kitchen.
#3. Then add just a little cold water and stir to dampen all of your chicken bites. You do not want a lot of water or to wash off your seasoning. You just want the chicken damp enough so your panko breadcrumbs will stick to them.
#4. Next, sprinkle half of your box of panko breadcrumbs on top of your chicken bites and stir. Then sprinkle the remaining panko breadcrumbs on top and stir again.
#5. Then place your air fryer basket inside of your Instant Pot and place your chicken bites in the basket.
#6. Next, place your air frying lid on your Instant Pot. Set the temperature to 400 degrees for 10 minutes.
#7. Your Instant pot will display “Turn Food” in the middle of this cooking cycle. When it tells you to do so open your Air Frying lid and give your chicken bits a stir to help them all cook evenly. Close the lid and let it continue with the first 10 minute cooking cycle.
#8. Next, once the first 10 minute cooking cycle has finished give your chicken bites another stir and put the lid back on. You will cook them again at 400 degrees for another 10 minutes. Stir in the middle of this cook cycle again once your Instant Pot displays “Turn Food”.
#9. Finally, once the timer is done check your chicken bites with a meat thermometer to make sure they have reached their required internal temperature before serving.
