Ingredients
Chicken and Marinade
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 2 chicken breasts (boneless and skinless)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Prepare the seasoning paste: In a small bowl, combine kosher salt, oregano, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, and olive oil. Mix well to create a flavorful paste that will coat the chicken breasts evenly.
- Coat the chicken breasts: Rub the seasoning paste all over both sides of the boneless, skinless chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully covered to maximize flavor.
- Air fry the chicken: Place the coated chicken breasts into the air fryer basket in a single layer. Set the air fryer to 370°F (188°C) and cook for 10 minutes.
- Flip and continue cooking: After 10 minutes, flip the chicken breasts to the other side and continue cooking for an additional 4 to 8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for safe consumption.
- Rest before serving: Remove the chicken from the air fryer and tent it with tin foil. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes so the juices redistribute, resulting in tender and juicy chicken.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked to a safe internal temperature.
- Adjust spices to your taste preferences for more or less heat or herbaceous flavor.
- For even cooking, try to select chicken breasts of similar size and thickness.
- Resting the chicken after cooking is important to maintain moisture.
- Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
