Description
A simple and delicious recipe for juicy air fryer chicken breasts that are tender and full of flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound total)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, pepper, and lemon juice until well combined.
- Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over both chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated.
- Place the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not touching.
- Cook the chicken at 380°F (193°C) for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.
Notes
- For added flavor, marinate the chicken in the seasoning mixture for 30 minutes to 2 hours before cooking.
- Experiment with different herbs and spices, such as Italian seasoning or Cajun spice, to customize the flavor to your liking.
