Air Fryer Lemon Herb Chicken
Air fryer lemon herb chicken has so much flavor with only a few simple ingredients. It's perfect for meal prep or a weeknight dinner.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts medium
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lemon zest and juice
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Add all ingredients except for the chicken to a large bowl and stir to combine.
- Add the chicken to the bowl and flip to coat the chicken in the marinade. Let chicken marinate for 15-20 minutes.
- Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes, then add the chicken to the air fryer. Cook for 10 minutes at 380 degrees F (190 C).
- After 10 minutes, flip and cook an additional 4-10 minutes, until internal temperature of chicken reads 165 degrees F. (Cook time will depend on the size of your chicken).
- Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice the chicken.
Notes
- The cook time will depend on the size and thickness of the chicken breast. Smaller chicken breasts may be done in 14 minutes total, while larger may take 18-20 minutes. I highly recommend a meat thermometer to check when the internal temperature measures 165 degrees F.
- This recipe is easy to double if you have more chicken breasts. I will frequently do 4 at a time, especially if the chicken breasts are small/medium size.
