Description

This Air Fryer Chicken Breast is perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. Seasoned with paprika and garlic, it’s a quick, healthy option for dinner that everyone will love!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 650 g (1.4 lb) chicken breast, cut in half lengthways
  • 6 tsp paprika
  • 6 tsp dark brown sugar
  • 4 tsp garlic granules
  • 3 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 200℃/400F.
  • Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthways to create thin fillets.
  • In a bowl, mix the spices together to prepare the coating, then coat the chicken pieces well in the spice mix.
  • Spray the air fryer basket with oil, then arrange the chicken in a single layer inside the basket.
  • Cook the chicken for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until fully cooked (check internal temperature if unsure).

Notes

Make sure to check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it has reached 75℃ (165F).
Experiment with different spices to customize the flavor to your liking.
Using thin fillets helps the chicken cook faster and more evenly.
