Description
A quick and healthy dish that delivers juicy and flavorful grilled chicken using an air fryer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ lbs chicken breast portions
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ¾ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 1¾ tsp salt
- 1¼ tsp paprika
Instructions
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and place them in a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and paprika.
- Add the olive oil to the chicken and toss until evenly coated. Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the chicken and rub it in well to cover all sides.
- Brush the bottom of the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Place the chicken breasts in the basket in a single layer, leaving space between each piece.
- Air fry at 380°F for 10 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook for another 10 minutes.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. Remove any chicken that reaches 165°F. Return any undercooked pieces to the air fryer and continue cooking in 3-minute intervals until fully cooked.
- Let the chicken rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing or serving.
Notes
For extra juiciness, marinate the chicken for a few hours before cooking. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket.
