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 together the olive oil, dried thyme, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps the spice rub adhere better. Brush the seasoning mixture onto both sides of the chicken.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375℉ for 5 minutes. Place the chicken in a single layer and cook for 10 minutes. Then, flip the chicken and cook for another 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165℉.
- Let the chicken rest on a cutting board or plate before slicing to ensure it stays juicy. Slice and serve.
Notes
For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken for a few hours before cooking.
Ensure the chicken breasts are of equal size for even cooking.
You can use fresh herbs instead of dried for a more vibrant flavor.
