Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or cooking spray)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the chicken breasts: Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel to ensure they cook evenly. Rub them with olive oil or lightly coat with cooking spray.
- Season the chicken: In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
- Air fry: Place the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket, ensuring they’re not overlapping. Air fry for 10 minutes, then flip the chicken over and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Rest and serve: Once cooked, let the chicken breasts rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving.
Notes
- If the chicken breasts are larger or thicker, you may need to cook them a bit longer. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F for safe consumption.
- You can add your favorite spices or herbs to customize the flavor. Try adding a squeeze of lemon juice after cooking for a fresh twist.
- For a more crispy finish, spray the chicken with a light layer of cooking spray halfway through cooking.
