Ingredients

Seasoning Mix (or use your favorite seasoning blend)
- ½ teaspoon paprika

Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 370°F.
- In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and oregano.
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and then rub it with olive oil. Season with the seasoning mix or your own preferred blend.
- Place the chicken breasts in the air fryer, ensuring that they don't overlap.
- Cook chicken for 10 minutes. Flip the chicken over and cook for an additional 6-9 minutes or until the internal temperature chicken reaches 165°F. Be sure not to overcook.
- Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Notes
- For best results, use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches 165°F. For juicy chicken breast, do not overcook.
- Cook time can vary slightly based on the size/shape of chicken; the cooking times are for 6-7 oz chicken breasts. Chicken breasts can range in size from 5oz to 10oz, and appliances can vary. Adjust cook time as needed.
- Other seasoning options include garlic powder, onion powder, and/or Italian seasoning, Greek seasoning blend, cajun seasoning, or lemon pepper.
- If your chicken breasts fit in your basket without overlapping, you can use 4 chicken breasts. If they're extra large, cook them in batches or just use 3 chicken breasts (seasoning will remain the same). Larger chicken breasts will need an extra minute or two of cooking time.
