Description
This juicy air fryer chicken breast recipe ensures perfectly cooked chicken every time, with a flavorful seasoning that locks in moisture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts in a large bowl or zip-top bag, and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are fully coated. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off.
- Arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch.
- Cook in the air fryer for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- For best results, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature.
- You can substitute the spices with your favorite seasoning blend.
- This recipe works well with chicken thighs too; just adjust the cooking time as needed.
