Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Pat the chicken breasts dry to achieve a golden, crisp exterior.
- Brush each breast with olive oil on both sides.
- Season generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika, coating both sides evenly.
- Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping midway, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken for a few hours or brining in a saltwater solution. Resting the chicken after cooking allows juices to redistribute for extra juiciness.
