Ninja Crispi Lemon Garlic Chicken Strips

I’ve been trying more simple recipes in my Ninja Crispi, and these lemon garlic chicken strips were really easy to make.

There are still not too many Ninja Crispi recipes online yet, so I wanted to share this one because it uses simple ingredients and cooks quickly.

Before you start, you can also take a look at this Ninja Crispi Salmon with Garlic, Paprika and Parsley recipe.

Ninja Crispi Lemon Garlic Chicken Strips

I made these Ninja Crispi chicken strips with chicken breast, salt, dried parsley, garlic powder, lemon juice, and a little olive oil sprayed on top.

That’s it. Nothing complicated.

The first time I made them, I cooked them for 17 minutes using the AIR FRY mode, but the chicken came out too dry.

So for this recipe, I recommend cooking them for less time and checking them early, especially if your chicken strips are thin.

Ninja Crispi Lemon Garlic Chicken Strips

This is the kind of recipe I like when I want something quick, simple, and easy to serve with almost anything.

The garlic powder gives the chicken a nice savory flavor, the lemon juice adds freshness, and the dried parsley makes it taste a little brighter.

You can serve these chicken strips with rice, salad, roasted potatoes, vegetables, pasta, or inside wraps.

They are also good for a simple lunch bowl with lettuce, cucumber, rice, and a quick sauce.

Ingredients:

For 2 to 3 servings:

• 1 lb / 450 g chicken breast, cut into strips
• 1 tablespoon olive oil, or olive oil spray
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Optional Ingredients:

If you want to add more flavor or keep the chicken a little juicier, you can also use:

• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
• Extra lemon wedges for serving

I kept mine very simple, but adding a little mayonnaise or Greek yogurt to the seasoning mix can help the chicken stay more moist.

This is especially helpful when using chicken breast, because it can dry out quickly in the Ninja Crispi.

How to Make Ninja Crispi Lemon Garlic Chicken Strips

Cut the chicken breast into strips. Try not to cut the strips too thin, because very thin pieces can dry out quickly.

Place the chicken strips in a bowl or on a plate.

Add the salt, garlic powder, dried parsley, lemon juice, and olive oil.

Mix everything well so the chicken is evenly coated with the seasoning.

If you want the chicken to be juicier, you can also mix in 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt at this stage.

Let the chicken sit for 10 to 15 minutes if you have time. This is not required, but it helps the flavor get into the chicken a little more.

Place the chicken strips into the Ninja Crispi container. Try to spread them out as much as possible so they cook evenly.

Do not pile too many pieces on top of each other. Cook using the AIR FRY mode for 8 minutes.

After 8 minutes, open the Ninja Crispi and check the chicken.

Turn or toss the chicken strips, then cook for another 2 to 4 minutes if needed.

The total cooking time should be around 8 to 12 minutes, depending on how thick your chicken strips are.

Important Tip

Do not cook thin chicken strips for too long. I first tried 17 minutes, and the chicken was very dry. For better results, start checking at 8 minutes. If the chicken is cooked through, stop cooking right away.

Chicken breast can go from juicy to dry very quickly, especially when it is cut into strips.

These Ninja Crispi lemon garlic chicken strips are simple, quick, and easy to make with basic ingredients.

They are not fancy, but they are practical and great for a fast lunch or dinner.

The lemon and garlic give the chicken a fresh, savory flavor, and the AIR FRY mode helps cook everything quickly.

Enjoy!

This is definitely a recipe I would make again, but with a shorter cooking time.

The most important thing is to check the chicken early and avoid overcooking it.

If you have a Ninja Crispi and want a simple chicken recipe, try these lemon garlic chicken strips.

They are easy, flavorful, and perfect for a busy day.
