Print Recipe

This foolproof air fryer chicken breast recipe delivers tender, juicy chicken every time. Seasoned with simple herbs and spices, it’s a healthy, high-protein option that’s perfect for quick dinners, meal prep, or slicing over salads and bowls.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt*

  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano

  • ½ teaspoon paprika

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken
    In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, oregano, paprika, black pepper, and garlic powder to form a paste. Rub the mixture evenly over both chicken breasts.

  2. Air fry
    Place the chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
    Cook at 370°F (188°C) for 10 minutes, then flip the chicken and cook for 4–8 more minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.

  3. Rest
    Remove the chicken from the air fryer, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes. The temperature will rise to 165°F, and the juices will redistribute.

  4. Serve
    Slice or serve whole with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Let chicken rest after cooking to keep it juicy.

  • For even cooking, pound thick chicken breasts to a similar thickness.

  • Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking.

  • This recipe works great for meal prep and reheats well.
