Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for moisture and flavor
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder adds depth
  • 1 teaspoon paprika for color and taste
  • 1 teaspoon salt to enhance flavor
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper for a bit of spice
Optional Garnish
  • to taste fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels to achieve a nice sear.
  2. In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken breasts and coat evenly. Let sit for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer to 370°F (190°C) and let it heat for 3-5 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Place the marinated chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  2. Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
  3. Check for doneness with a meat thermometer; the internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
  4. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing to retain juices.
Serving
  1. Slice and serve as desired, garnished with fresh herbs if you like.
