Description
A simple and healthy air fryer recipe for juicy chicken breasts with delightful spices, perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Start by preheating your air fryer to 380°F (190°C).
- While the air fryer heats up, prepare the chicken breasts. Pat them dry with a paper towel to ensure they cook evenly.
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
- Rub the marinade all over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to allow for proper air circulation.
- Cook the chicken for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Notes
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is perfectly cooked. Let it rest for about 5 minutes after cooking to retain juices and enhance flavor.
