Cut the chicken into small pieces: On a cutting board, cut 10 oz skinless boneless chicken thigh into 1/2-inch pieces.

2

Cut or chop the romaine lettuce into 2-inch pieces.

3

Slice the onion: Half the onion lengthwise and slice off the root and head. Grip the half by the side and make 1/8" slices across the half.

Air-fry the marinated chicken: In a parchment-lined air fryer’s basket, add the marinated chicken. Scatter to create spaces between the meat. Bake at 400°F for 10 minutes, then remove from the heat.

3

Make the dressing: In a small bowl, add 3 tbsp Japanese mayonnaise and 1 tbsp plain Greek yogurt. Stir well to mix.
