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.
