Instructions
- Place 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts in a gallon-size resealable plastic bag. Pour in 1/2 cup lemon juice, 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon salt , 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon dried basil and 1 teaspoon dried oregano. Shake so that all the chicken gets covered.
- Let marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes or up to 12 hours.
- Preheat air fryer for 5 minutes at 350°F (177°C).
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil spray. Remove chicken from marinade and place in the air fryer basket. Discard any remaining marinade.
- Cook for 12 minutes, then flip the chicken using tongs and continue cooking for an additional 10 to 12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Exact cooking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of the chicken breasts. Use a meat thermometer to check as the end of the cooking time approaches to avoid overcooking.
- Serve hot. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and a slice of lemon (optional).
Notes
- If you want to make it fancy for serving, thinly slice 1 medium lemon or cut it into wedges to add on top for serving. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley if you want to add a pop of color.
