Ingredients

Main Ingredients

4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts Choose fresh, quality pieces for best results.
2 tablespoons Olive oil or preferred healthy oil Can substitute with avocado oil.
2 teaspoons Seasoning mix (paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper) Adjust to taste.

For Serving

1 whole Lemon wedges For serving.
optional Fresh herbs (like parsley) For garnish.

Method

Preparation

Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts.
In a bowl, coat the chicken with olive oil and sprinkle the seasoning mix all over, covering every inch.
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes.

Cooking

Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the air fryer basket without overcrowding.
Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Serving

Take the chicken out and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with lemon wedges and your favorite sides.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days, or freeze for up to three months. Reheat chicken in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes.
