Place mozzarella pieces in the freezer for about 15 minutes while preparing the chicken mixture

In a bowl mix the ground chicken Italian seasoning garlic powder onion powder salt and pepper until evenly combined

Divide the chicken into 12 portions and flatten each portion into a thin rectangle in your palm

Place a mozzarella piece in the center and wrap the chicken around it sealing the edges completely

Place the wrapped bites on a plate and refrigerate for about 10 minutes to help them firm up

Prepare a breading station with one bowl of beaten egg and another bowl with panko and parmesan mixed together

Dip each chicken wrapped piece into the egg then coat in the panko parmesan mixture pressing gently to adhere

Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees

Place the chicken bites in the air fryer basket leaving space between them and lightly spray with olive oil

Cook for 10 to 12 minutes flipping halfway through until golden brown and the chicken reaches 165 degrees internally

Let them rest for a few minutes before serving so the cheese sets slightly

Preheat oven to 425 degrees

Place the breaded chicken bites on a parchment lined baking sheet and spray lightly with olive oil

Bake for 18 to 22 minutes flipping halfway through until golden and cooked through
