Ingredients
- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts: 2 (6-8 ounces each)
- Olive oil: 1 tablespoon
- Paprika: 1 teaspoon
- Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- Onion powder: 1 teaspoon
- Dried oregano: 1/2 teaspoon
- Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- Black pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes.
- Step 2: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Step 3: Brush the chicken breasts evenly with the olive oil and spice mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Step 4: Place the chicken breasts in the preheated air fryer basket in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd them.
- Step 5: Air fry for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) using a meat thermometer.
Notes
- Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat slices of chicken in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until warmed through, to retain moisture.
- Serve your juicy air-fried chicken breast sliced over a vibrant salad or alongside roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
- For extra juicy chicken, consider a quick 30-minute brine in saltwater before seasoning and air frying.
