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 olive oil, dried thyme, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika until well combined.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel to help the spice rub adhere better. Brush the seasoning mixture onto both sides of the chicken breasts.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375℉ for 5 minutes. Place the chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 10 minutes. After that, flip the chicken and cook for another 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165℉ as checked with a meat thermometer.
- Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a cutting board or plate and let it rest before slicing to ensure the juices remain locked in, resulting in extra tender and juicy chicken! Slice and serve.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the seasoning mixture for a few hours before cooking.
You can substitute the spices with your favorite herbs or spices to customize the recipe.
Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer to ensure even cooking.
