A quick and easy recipe for juicy, tender air fryer chicken breasts with a perfectly seasoned crispy exterior.
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, about 6 ounces each
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Brush both sides of the chicken breasts evenly with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts, pressing gently to adhere.
Place the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
Cook the chicken breasts at 375°F (190°C) for 9 minutes.
Flip the chicken breasts over and cook for an additional 9 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken breasts from the air fryer and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
