Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6-8 ounces each)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or halal alternative)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or Italian seasoning)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Start by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
- Season the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to preheat at 375°F (190°C) for about 3 to 5 minutes.
