Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
-
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
-
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with olive oil.
-
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and onion powder.
-
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
-
Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 9 minutes, flip, then cook for another 7-9 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
-
Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken breasts for a few hours before cooking.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to ensure the chicken cooks evenly and crisps up.
