Air Fryer Chicken Breast

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 22 minutes
Total Time 27 minutes
Servings 3

Ingredients

  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1.5 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp dried onion
  • 1/4 tsp dried garlic
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, mix together smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, chopped onion, minced garlic, and avocado oil to create a marinade.
  • Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and coat them evenly with the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  • After marinating, remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer (rounded side down).
  • Cook the chicken breasts in the air fryer at 380°F (190°C) for 22 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown on the outside and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing or serving.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs or lemon wedges if desired, and serve with your favorite side dishes.
