Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6–8 oz each)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Mix smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  2. Pat chicken dry, coat both sides with olive oil, and press the spice mix all over each breast.
  3. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place chicken in a single layer and cook 5 minutes. Flip and cook 5–6 minutes more, until 165°F internal.
  4. Rest the chicken on a cutting board 5 minutes, then slice against the grain and serve.

Notes

If your chicken breasts are thicker than 1 inch, pound them gently until even or add 1–2 minutes to the cook time. The rest step is not optional; it keeps the juices inside the meat instead of on the board.
