Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 2 pieces chicken breasts boneless and skinless
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder.
  3. Rub the seasoning mixture over the chicken breasts until well coated.
Cooking
  1. Place the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  2. Cook for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  3. Remove from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Serving
  1. Slice and serve it over a salad, or pair with your favorite side dishes like steamed vegetables or rice.

Notes

Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket. Let the chicken rest after cooking to keep it juicy. Adjust the seasonings based on your preferences. For a different flavor, try adding herbs like rosemary or thyme to your seasoning mix, or experiment with lemon juice or BBQ sauce for a tangy twist.
