Equipment

Ingredients

4 medium to large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon paprika (smoked paprika can also be used in place of regular)
¾ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Preheat air fryer to 390°F. Brush each side of chicken lightly with olive oil. Set aside.
In a small bowl, add oregano, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper and stir to combine. Sprinkle evenly over both sides of each chicken breast.
Place chicken breasts in air fryer basket and set timer for seven minutes and cook. When timer goes off, flip each chicken breast, set timer for another 7 minutes, and cook. **Cooking times will vary, depending on size of chicken breasts. It is best to check using a meat thermometer for an internal temperature of 165°F**
Remove chicken to a plate and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This ensures the chicken remains juicy.
