Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 chicken breasts thinly sliced
- 1 tsp olive oil (optional) divided
- 1/2 tsp salt divided
- 1/4 tsp pepper divided
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder divided
- 1/2 tsp paprika divided
Instructions
- Lay out thin chicken breasts on a preparation surface. Drizzle with cooking oil and sprinkle with seasonings. Rub in oil and seasonings.
- Flip the chicken breasts over and top with more oil and seasonings. Rub it in to coat the chicken evenly.
- Place seasoned chicken breasts in the air fryer basket. Close up the air fryer and heat to 400 degrees for 10 minutes.
- Optional: halfway through cooking time, you can open up the air fryer and flip over the chicken pieces with a spatula. This helps them to cook more evenly. Definitely complete this step if the chicken is crowded in the air fryer basket.
- Once cooking time is up, check the doneness of the chicken with a meat thermometer. Chicken should register at least 160 degrees in the center. If not, close up air fryer and cook at 400 degrees for another few minutes.
- If the chicken is ready, use a spatula to move it to a serving plate.
Notes
- Use any seasonings you love on chicken.
- You may omit the oil if you prefer. It does keep the chicken moist and prevent it from sticking to the air fryer.
- If you cook more chicken than can fit in a single layer in the air fryer basket, you can stack the chicken into a couple of layers. Just be sure to flip the chicken breasts and move them around the air fryer about halfway through cooking time so the chicken cooks evenly.
- Cooking time can vary depending on model of air fryer and size of chicken breasts.
