Calories: 323kcal
Equipment
- air fryer We use a 6 quart Ninja Foodi All In One
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 6 ounces each
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Recommended Seasonings
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your Air Fryer: Begin by preheating the Ninja Foodi Air Crisp Basket, or whichever brand air fryer you're using, at 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Allow it to warm up for 5 minutes.
- Prepare the Seasoning Mix: In a small bowl, combine the oregano, paprika, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix these ingredients well to ensure an even blend of the spices.
- Season the Chicken: Take each chicken breast and, using a pastry brush, lightly coat both sides with olive oil. Once oiled, generously sprinkle both sides of the chicken breasts with the prepared seasoning mix, ensuring an even coverage.
- Air Fry the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts into the preheated air fryer basket. Set your air fryer to the 'Air Crisp' function and adjust the temperature to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Cook for 12-14 minutes. It's important to ensure that the chicken is thoroughly cooked through ( 165 degrees) before removing it from the air fryer.
- Rest Before Serving: After cooking, remove the chicken from the air fryer (tongs work easily) and let it rest for 2-3 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, giving a really moist piece of chicken! We suggest serving with a roasted veggie side dish, mashed potatoes, and a yeast roll.
