Air Fryer Paprika Chicken Breast
Chicken breasts rubbed with paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder, then air fried until golden and juicy at 165 degrees F.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 8 oz each
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
Cooking
- Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F.
- Pat the chicken dry and brush both sides with olive oil.
- Mix the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Rub the seasoning over both sides of the chicken.
- Place the chicken in a single layer in the basket. Cook about 15 minutes for breasts around 1 inch thick, flipping halfway, until the thickest part reads 165 degrees F. Cook a couple more minutes if needed.
- Rest the chicken 5 minutes, then slice and serve.
Notes
Cook time depends on thickness, so use an instant-read thermometer. Do not crowd the basket. Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat within 3 to 4 days. Nutrition is an estimate for one 8 oz breast.
