  2. Gradually stir in Panko bread crumbs into the chicken mixture until it holds together but remains slightly sticky.
  3. Take small portions of the mixture and envelop pieces of Swiss cheese, forming roughly 1.5-inch balls.
  4. Roll each bite in additional Panko bread crumbs for extra crunch.
  5. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  6. Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the bites in a single layer and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.
  7. Once cooked, remove the bites from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving hot with dipping sauces.
