Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts Opt for organic for better quality.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Essential for keeping the chicken moist.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Adds a robust flavor kick.
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder Feel free to omit for a milder profile.
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika Smoked paprika enhances this element beautifully.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Adjust to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper Customize the amount to your preference.
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Herbs Optional for garnish; parsley or cilantro works wonders.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Begin by patting the boneless skinless chicken breasts dry using paper towels. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken, then season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  2. For an extra layer of flavor, consider marinating the seasoned chicken in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Set your air fryer to preheat at 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes.
  4. Once preheated, carefully place the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. After cooking, remove the chicken breasts from the air fryer and let them rest for about 5 minutes.
  6. Slice the rested chicken breasts and serve alongside your favorite sides.

Notes

Always check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it's cooked to at least 165°F (74°C). Resting the chicken after cooking helps retain its juiciness.
