Air Fryer Chicken Breast

Ingredients

• 2 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts (Approximately 450 g in total; even thickness)
• 1 tbsp Olive oil (To lightly coat the chicken)
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp Onion powder
• Salt (To taste)
• Ground black pepper (To taste)

Steps

1. 1

   Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. If they are uneven in thickness, gently pound them to approximately 2 to 3 cm thick to ensure even cooking.

2. 2

   Preheat the air fryer to 200 °C for 3 to 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Place the chicken in a bowl. Add the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the seasonings well on all sides of the chicken breasts.

4. 4

   Place the chicken breasts in the basket in a single layer, leaving space between them for air circulation.

5. 5

   Cook at 200 °C for 9 minutes. Flip the chicken breasts and continue cooking for 7 to 10 minutes, depending on thickness, until they are golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 74 °C in the thickest part.

6. 6

   Remove the chicken and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. This helps to retain its juices.
