Key ingredients
boneless skinless chicken breasts, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, smoked paprika.
Ingredients
- 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
- Pound the thicker end of each chicken breast so the pieces are an even thickness. Pat dry with paper towel.
- Combine the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, smoked paprika and cayenne.
- Spritz the chicken lightly with oil and season both sides.
- Place the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer without overlapping.
- Air fry at 380°F (193°C) for about 10 minutes, turning halfway through.
- 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.
- Before serving, make sure the chicken is fully cooked throughout. Slice and serve.
