🍗 Air Fryer Chicken Breast

6

Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3–5 minutes.
2. Pat the chicken breasts dry. If they’re very thick, gently pound them to an even thickness.
3. Rub with olive oil, then season both sides.
4. Place chicken in the basket in a single layer.
5. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 16–22 minutes, flipping halfway through.
6. Check the thickest part with a meat thermometer. Chicken is done at 165°F (74°C).
7. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

⭐ For Juicy Chicken

Don’t rely only on cooking time—the thickness of the breast makes a big difference. Start checking the temperature around 15 minutes to avoid overcooking.

Tip: For extra flavor, add a pinch of Italian seasoning or a squeeze of lemon after cooking.
