Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6oz each)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and rub them evenly with olive oil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper; sprinkle the mixture evenly over all sides of the chicken.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
- Place the chicken in the basket in a single layer, ensuring they aren't touching to allow air circulation.
- Cook for 12-18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches a safe 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer.
- Transfer chicken to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing to keep the juices inside.
