Whole recipe (4 servings): 976 kcal

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • pinch cayenne pepper
  • olive or avocado oil spray (Spritz chicken with oil)

Method

7 steps
  1. Pound the thicker end of each chicken breast so the pieces are an even thickness. Pat dry with paper towel.
  2. Combine the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, smoked paprika and cayenne.
  3. Spritz the chicken lightly with oil and season both sides.
  4. Place the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer without overlapping.
  5. Air fry at 380°F (193°C) for about 10 minutes, turning halfway through.
  6. Check the thickest part with an instant-read thermometer. Remove the chicken around 155-160°F (68-71°C), then rest for 5-10 minutes so carryover heat continues cooking the meat.
  7. Before serving, make sure the chicken is fully cooked throughout. Slice and serve.
