Ingredients used to make Air Fryer Chicken Breasts:

• Boneless skinless chicken breast
• Olive oil (or avocado oil works great too and has a high smoke point as well as you get those healthy fats!)
• Salt 
• Ground black pepper 
• Garlic powder
• Oregano 

How to make Air Fryer Chicken Breasts:

• Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees F. 

• Season the chicken. While the air fryer is preheating, add the chicken, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano to a mixing bowl. Toss it all together until the chicken is thoroughly coated in olive oil and seasoning. 

• Air fry. Place the chicken in an even layer in the air fryer and cook at 375 degrees F for 7 minutes. 
• Flip the single layer chicken and cook for an additional 7 minutes. 
• Check the temperature of the chicken by sticking a meat thermometer (or an instant read thermometer) into the thickest part of the largest breast. If the temperature reads 165 degrees F, the chicken is done. If it’s not there yet, refer to the next step. 

• Air fry more (if needed). If the chicken has not yet reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, air fry it for another 2 minutes and check the temperature again. The cook times will vary based on the size of the chicken breasts. Repeat (if necessary) until the chicken is cooked through.
