Air Fryer Chicken Breast Recipe
Chicken breasts can be a hit or miss, right? Sometimes they're juicy and perfect, and other times, they end up dry and sad. I used to avoid cooking them because of that. But then, I got an air fryer, and let me tell you, it changed everything.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Pat dry the chicken breasts with paper towels to remove moisture.
- Season both sides of the chicken by rubbing with olive oil, then sprinkling with garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Place the chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Cook for 8-10 minutes on one side. Flip the chicken and cook for another 6-8 minutes.
- Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer; it should reach 165°F.
- Rest the chicken for 5 minutes before slicing or serving.
Notes
- If your air fryer basket is small, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Add your favorite seasoning blends for variety!
