Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts, cleaned and trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian herbs
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Step 1 – Prepare the chicken breasts by cleaning and trimming any excess fat. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove any moisture.
  • Step 2 – Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil to help the seasonings stick and ensure crispiness.
  • Step 3 – In a small bowl, mix the Italian herbs, paprika, salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Apply this seasoning mix evenly to both sides of the chicken breasts.
  • Step 4 – Preheat the air fryer to 360°F (182°C). Place the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket, spaced well apart for airflow.
  • Step 5 – Cook the chicken for 9 minutes, then flip each breast and continue cooking for an additional 6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer to ensure doneness.
  • Step 6 – Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow juices to redistribute. Serve hot for best results.
