Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken breasts – equal in size
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp dried thyme – or italian seasoning
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- ½ tsp paprika
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil with 2 teaspoons of dried thyme, 2 teaspoons of onion powder, 2 teaspoons of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon of black pepper, and ½ teaspoon of paprika until combined.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel to help the seasoning adhere better. Brush the seasoning mixture onto both sides of the chicken breasts.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375℉ for 5 minutes. Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, flip the chicken breasts and cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165℉ as tested with a meat thermometer.
- Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest on a cutting board or plate before slicing to keep the juices locked in.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken breasts for a few hours before cooking.
Make sure the chicken breasts are of equal size for even cooking.
Feel free to experiment with other spices based on your preference.
