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 medium-sized chicken breast boneless, skinless, approx. 1 pound
- 2 teaspoons olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 375 degrees F. for approx. 5 minutes.
- Pat chicken dry with clean paper towel.
- Combine salt, onion powder, garlic powder and paprika in a small bowl. Stir to combine.
- Drizzle chicken with olive oil and rub all over. Season generously with the seasoning ensuring the chicken is fully coated.
- Place chicken thighs 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 degrees F (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.
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.
