Air Fryer Greek Chicken
Description
Chicken breasts are marinated for two hours in olive oil, crushed garlic, lemon juice and zest, dried oregano, liquid dill, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper. This combination imparts a balance of acidity, herbal notes, and savory depth. After marinating, the chicken is air fried at 180°C (350°F) for about 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway to ensure even cooking. The air fryer crisps the exterior lightly while sealing in juices for tender meat. Variations in chicken breast size will affect cooking time and should be monitored to avoid dryness.
This dish serves well as a light, protein-focused main course and can be paired with salads, roasted vegetables, or grains to complete the meal. The lemon and herbs provide a fresh profile typical of Greek-style cooking.
For faster cooking, dice the chicken breasts before marinating and reduce cooking time to around 12-14 minutes. Do not let the chicken rest inside the air fryer after cooking, as residual heat will keep cooking the chicken and may cause overcooking. Use similarly sized chicken breasts to achieve uniform doneness.
Ingredients
- 300 g chicken breast about 150g/5.25oz per breast
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 garlic crushed, cloves
- 1 pinch salt sea salt
- 1 pinch black pepper ground
- 0.5 lemon juice and zest only
- 0.5 teaspoon oregano dried
- 0.5 teaspoon dill liquid
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Instructions
- Put the chicken breast into a bowl and add all the other ingredients. Mix well and marinate for 2 hours.
- Cook at 180°C/350°F for 18-20 minutes, flipping over halfway through.
Notes
- Watch the chicken closely during cooking as air fryer models vary in heat and speed.
- Do not let cooked chicken rest inside the air fryer to avoid overcooking from residual heat.
- Select chicken breasts of equal size to ensure even cooking.
- For faster cooking, dice the chicken before marinating and cook for 12-14 minutes instead of whole breasts.
