Description

This Air Fryer Chicken recipe creates juicy, tender chicken with a lightly crisp exterior using simple pantry spices and minimal oil. Perfect for quick dinners and meal prep.


Ingredients

Scale

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb / 450 g)

1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Black pepper to taste


Instructions

1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.

2. Mix the garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

3. Brush the chicken breasts with oil on both sides.

4. Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over the chicken.

5. Place the chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer.

6. Cook at 375°F for 18 to 20 minutes flipping halfway through.

7. Check the internal temperature and remove at 155 to 160°F.

8. Let the chicken rest 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Slice chicken breasts lengthwise for faster cooking.

Cook cutlets about 10 to 15 minutes at 370°F.

Cooking time varies depending on thickness.

Resting keeps the chicken juicy.
