Description
A delightful and nutritious healthy air fryer chicken recipe, perfect for cozy fall evenings.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (like rosemary or thyme) for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Start by patting the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel.
- Marinate: In a bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts in this mixture and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) and preheat it for about 5 minutes.
- Cook the chicken: Place the marinated chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Rest and serve: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs for that finishing touch.
Notes
Pound uneven chicken breasts for more consistent cooking. Adjust spices to taste and use frozen chicken if necessary, increasing cooking time as needed.
