Air Fryer Chicken Breast
Air fryer chicken breasts can be cooked in less than 20 minutes and only require six ingredients.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts boneless skinless
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 5 minutes.
- To a large bowl, add olive oil, smoked paprika, thyme leaves, garlic powder, and salt. Stir to combine.
- Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and coat the chicken in the mixture.
- Once air fryer preheats, place the chicken breasts in the air fryer. Air fry at 380 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 10 minutes. Flip, then cook an additional 4-10 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
- Remove chicken from the air fryer and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice and serve.
Notes
- Cook time of chicken will largely depend on the size and thickness of your chicken breasts. I highly recommend using a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing so that all the juices stay in the chicken and the chicken stays juicy and delicious.
- Get creative with the seasonings and spices!
- This recipe will serve 2, but it's easy to double if you're serving more.
