Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 (8 oz) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika

Method
 

  1. Pat chicken dry and pound to an even ½ to ¾ inch thickness. Mix salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Rub chicken with oil, then coat both sides with the spice mix.
  2. Place chicken in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F for 5 minutes, flip, then cook another 5 to 7 minutes until the thickest part registers 160 to 165°F.
  3. Transfer to a cutting board and rest for 5 minutes. Slice against the grain and serve.

Notes

If your chicken breasts are larger than 8 oz, add a couple of extra minutes after flipping. Always go by the thermometer, not the clock.
