Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
Brush both sides of each chicken breast with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
Place the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
Cook for 15 minutes, flipping the chicken breasts halfway through the cooking time.
Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer; it should read 165°F (74°C) when done.
Remove the chicken breasts from the air fryer and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
