Ingredients
- 360 g Boneless chicken breast (Divided into 2 breasts of approximately 180 g each)
- Salt (To taste)
- Black pepper (To taste)
- Garlic powder (For seasoning the chicken; to taste)
- Onion powder (For seasoning the chicken; to taste)
- Garlic and herb seasoning blend (To taste)
- 1 tsp Oil (To lightly coat the chicken and basket)
- 1 tbsp Light butter (For the sauce)
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice (For the sauce)
- Garlic powder (For the sauce; to taste)
Steps
- 1
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. If they are very different in thickness, gently pound them to ensure even cooking.
- 2
Season both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and the garlic and herb seasoning blend.
- 3
Preheat the air fryer to 200 °C (400 °F) for approximately 3 minutes. Lightly spray or brush the basket with the oil.
- 4
Place the chicken breasts in the basket in a single layer, leaving space between them for air to circulate.
- 5
Cook the chicken at 200 °C (400 °F) for 9 minutes.
- 6
Flip the breasts and continue cooking for 6 to 9 minutes, until golden brown and they reach an internal temperature of 74 °C (165 °F) in the thickest part.
- 7
While the chicken finishes cooking, melt the light butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the lemon juice and a pinch of garlic powder, and stir until combined. Do not let the butter burn.
- 8
Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for 3 to 5 minutes so it retains its juices.
- 9
Pour or brush the lemon butter sauce over the chicken breasts just before serving.
