Instructions
- Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel.
- Coat the chicken with oil and sprinkle on the paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Then place the breast in the air fryer basket.
- Air fry at 380 degrees F for 15-18 minutes, flipping the pieces over once. If you use chicken cutlets, they will only need about 10-12 minutes of cooking time instead.
- Use an instant-read thermometer to verify that the internal temperature has reached at least 160 degrees F.
- Take the pieces of chicken out and let them rest on a plate for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Garnish with fresh herbs or lemon wedges.
Notes
- For Frozen Chicken Breast:
- The meat needs to be frozen as individual pieces of chicken, not as a big clump. Rub or spray the pieces with olive oil and add the seasoning. Cook it in a 360-degree F air fryer for 20-25 minutes, flipping it halfway through the cooking time.

- It is always best to check the internal temperature with a thermometer. If you don't have one, slice it at the thickest part to check for doneness.
- Change the seasoning by adding onion powder and chili powder or using your favorite seasonings such as Jerk or Italian seasoning.
