Description
Quick and easy method for juicy and flavorful air-fried chicken breasts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6–8 oz each)
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground mustard
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
- 1/2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 360°F for 5 minutes.
- Mix together all the dry ingredients in a bowl.
- Pound the chicken to an even thickness of about 1/2-3/4 inches thick. Coat the chicken with olive oil and liberally apply the seasoning mix to both sides.
- Place the seasoned chicken into the air fryer basket, then spritz with a little oil. Set the air fryer to 360°F for 10-14 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken.
- Flip the chicken halfway through cooking.
- Check for doneness with an instant-read thermometer; the internal temperature should be 165°F.
- Remove the chicken to a plate and lightly cover with foil for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Ensure the chicken breasts are pounded evenly for uniform cooking. Spritzing with oil helps achieve a crispy texture.
