Step 1. Prep your chicken breast and cook it however you like, and preheat your oven or air fryer. We do it in the air fryer for 18 minutes at 400 degrees and it comes out nice and juicy! You can also use precooked chicken strips from the store. Go ahead and cook your chicken if you did not buy store bought strips.
