Air Fryer Marinated Chicken Breast
Juicy chicken breasts marinated in olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, and paprika, then cooked quickly in the air fryer.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts about 1 1/2 lb total
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp paprika
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
Cooking
- Whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Place the chicken in a zip top bag or shallow container, pour in the marinade, and turn to coat. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
- Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees F.
- Lift the chicken out of the marinade and discard the used marinade. Place the chicken in a single layer in the basket.
- Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, turning halfway, until a thermometer in the thickest part reads 165 degrees F.
- Rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Always marinate in the refrigerator and discard the used marinade. Refrigerate cooked chicken within 2 hours and use within 3 to 4 days. The nutrition estimate counts the full marinade, so the real values are slightly lower. Nutrition is an estimate.
