Air Fryer Chicken Breast Recipe
Air Fryer Chicken Breast - learn how to cook chicken breasts in the air fryer with this simple and delicious recipe!
Ingredients
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts approx. 1 pound
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons olive oil or avocado oil
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat air fryer to 375℉ for approx. 5 minutes. Pat 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts dry with clean paper towel.
- Season Chicken: Combine 1 teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon garlic powder ¼ teaspoon paprika, and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper in a small bowl. Stir to combine. Drizzle chicken with 2 teaspoons olive oil and rub all over. Season generously with the seasoning ensuring the chicken is fully coated.
- Cook: Place chicken breasts in air fryer basket and let cook 7-9 minutes per side, but start checking the internal temperature after approx. 13-14 minutes just in case your air fryer runs hot. Remove from air fryer when chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165℉ (Note: I like to take mine out just a few degrees under 165℉ - the residual heat will continue to cook it while it rests). Set aside on a plate and let rest 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve: Enjoy any way you want!
Notes
- Serving: we love serving these with our Air Fryer Broccolini or Air Fryer Broccoli.
- Storage: store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Internal Temp. of Chicken: chicken is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. at it's thickest part.
