Air Fryer Chicken Breasts
Description
Air Fryer Chicken Breasts involves coating skinless, boneless chicken breasts in olive oil and a spice mix of chili powder, Italian seasoning (or oregano), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. The chicken is optionally pounded to an even thickness to promote uniform cooking. The air fryer is preheated to 390°F, and the chicken breasts are cooked for about 10 minutes per side until they reach the safe internal temperature of 165°F.
The air fryer allows high-heat circulating air cooking that crisps the outside while keeping the inside tender and juicy without added fat. The spices create a savory crust with mild heat and herbal notes.
Letting the chicken rest several minutes before slicing helps retain moisture. This method suits straightforward meal prep and meat for salads, sandwiches, or main dishes served with a side.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breast skinless, boneless
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or oil of choice
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 390F.
- In a small bowl, whisk the spices until combined.
- Pound chicken breasts to even thickness (optional step) and rub both sides of chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle with the spice mix.
- Transfer to preheated air fryer and cook 10 minutes per side or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165F.
- Remove chicken breasts from the air fryer and allow to rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.
