Description
Quick and easy air fryer recipe for juicy boneless chicken breasts that are tender and flavorful.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts – about 5–6 ounces each
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley – for topping
Instructions
- Pat each piece of chicken breast dry with a clean paper towel. Place the chicken into a bowl and drizzle it with olive oil, rubbing the oil all over the chicken.
- Mix the spices (garlic powder, chili powder, Italian seasoning) and salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub this spice mixture all over the chicken, ensuring all surfaces are covered.
- Preheat the air fryer to 360°F and spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Once ready, place the chicken breasts into the air fryer basket about 2 inches apart, making sure they are not overlapping.
- Cook the chicken for 8-9 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 8-9 minutes on the other side. The chicken is done cooking once it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Remove the chicken from the air fryer and place it onto a clean plate or cutting board. Let it rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving it.
Notes
For best results, ensure chicken is at room temperature before cooking and don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket.
