Air Fryer Chicken Breast
Description
The Air Fryer Chicken Breast recipe applies a spice rub including brown sugar, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic, and onion powders, coupled with a butter or olive oil brush to create a savory and subtly sweet crust. Air frying at 360°F for about 18 minutes, turning halfway, cooks the chicken thoroughly while maintaining juiciness. Standing before serving allows the juices to redistribute, and a sprinkle of parsley adds freshness.
The result is a versatile protein that can be served alongside vegetables, salads, or grains. The seasoned exterior adds complexity without overpowering the chicken's natural flavor.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breast 6 ounces each, boneless skinless
- 2 tablespoons butter melt the butter if using, or olive oil
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped

Instructions
- Heat the air fryer to 360 degrees F.
- Brush the butter or olive oil all over both sides of the chicken.
