Juicy Air Fryer Chicken Breasts

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
  • 1/2 tsp paprika

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoon olive oil, 2 teaspoon dried thyme, 2 teaspoon onion powder, 2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and ½ teaspoon paprika. Mix everything together.
  2. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towel. This helps the spice rub to stick more easily. Now brush the seasoning mixture onto both sides of the chicken.
  3. Preheat the air fryer at 375℉ for 5 minutes. Next, add in the chicken in a single layer and cook for 18-22 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cook until it reaches 165℉ internally when poked with a meat thermometer.
  4. Place chicken on a cutting board or plate and let it rest before slicing. This keeps the juices locked in, making your chicken extra tender and juicy! Next, slice and serve!
