- 2 piecesChicken breasts(boneless, skinless)
- 2 tbspOlive oil
- 1 tbspDried Italian seasoning
- 1 tspGarlic powder
- 0.5 tspOnion powder
- 0.5 tspSmoked paprika
- 1 pinchSalt(to taste)
- 1 pinchBlack pepper(to taste)
- tbspFresh parsley(chopped, for garnish (optional))
Instructions
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a crispier exterior.
In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the chicken breasts to the bowl with the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. You can also place them in a resealable bag with the marinade. Marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
Place the marinated chicken breasts in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd it. Cook in batches if necessary.
Air fry for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) using a meat thermometer. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts and your air fryer model.
Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the air fryer and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps keep them juicy.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
💡 Tipp
Varianten
- Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade for a spicy kick.
- Experiment with other dried herbs like thyme or rosemary.
