Air Fryer Chicken Breasts Recipe
I have a simple Air Fryer Chicken Breast recipe that you are going to love that produces a juicy chicken breast with little effort needed.
Servings: 2 (2-4 depending on serving size)
Calories: 239kcal
Equipment
- Air Fryer
- meat thermometer
- Tongs
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (medium sized)
- 1½ Tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons oregano
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees F.
- 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.
- Place the chicken in the air fryer and cook at 375 degrees F for 7 minutes.
- Flip the chicken and cook for an additional 7 minutes.
- Check the temperature of the chicken by sticking a meat 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.
- 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. Repeat (if necessary) until the chicken is cooked through.
Notes
A few options to bump up the flavor for this quick meal:
- Add in some onion powder
- Use a basic brine ratio with a few tablespoons of salt and water or chicken broth to marinate the chicken in
- Spice it up with a few dashes of chili powder
- Cajun seasoning in place of the garlic powder and oregano works great
- Italian seasoning is also a great option
