This Easy Air Fryer Chicken Breasts recipe features juicy, tender chicken cooked to perfection with a flavorful blend of spices. Utilizing the air fryer allows for a quick, healthy meal with a crispy exterior and moist interior, perfect for a busy weeknight dinner or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 chicken breasts (skinless, boneless)

Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (or oil of choice)
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or oregano)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 390°F and allow it to preheat fully to ensure even cooking.
  2. Mix Spices: In a small bowl, whisk together chili powder, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Prepare Chicken: Optionally, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for uniform cooking. Rub both sides of each chicken breast with olive oil, then generously sprinkle with the spice mixture, ensuring even coating.
  4. Cook Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the preheated air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Rest and Serve: Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for at least 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature for safety and juiciness.
  • Pounding chicken to an even thickness helps ensure consistent cooking.
  • Adjust seasoning amounts to taste or substitute with preferred herbs and spices.
  • Chicken breasts can be slightly sprayed with cooking spray if not using olive oil.
  • Resting the chicken is crucial for a tender and juicy bite.
