Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts Opt for organic, if possible.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil To keep your chicken moist.
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder For that extra flavor kick.
- 1 teaspoon onion powder Another layer of delectable flavor.
- 1 teaspoon paprika Adds a subtle smokiness.
- 1 teaspoon salt Essential for enhancing all the other flavors!
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper For a touch of spice.
- to taste fresh herbs (optional, for garnish) Like parsley or cilantro, will brighten up your dish.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well-blended.
- Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, coating each piece thoroughly. Let them sit for at least 15 minutes—30 minutes for maximum flavor!
- Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for approximately 5 minutes.
Cooking
- Once preheated, arrange the marinated chicken breasts in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). If needed, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Let the chicken sit for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs, and enjoy!
Notes
Substitutions: Use chicken thighs for extra juicy results. Marination Time: Longer marination increases flavor. Avoid overcrowding for even cooking. Always check internal temperature with a meat thermometer.
