A delicious and healthy option that uses an air fryer to achieve juicy, crispy grilled chicken quickly and effortlessly.
Ingredients
Chicken Preparation
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts Pound to an even thickness
Marinade
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice Optional
Instructions
Preparation
- Start by preparing the chicken breasts. Place them between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness.
- In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice if using.
- Coat the chicken breasts with the marinade, ensuring they are well-covered. Allow them to marinate for at least 30 minutes. For even better flavor, marinate in the refrigerator for up to 8 hours.
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
Cooking
- Place the marinated chicken breasts in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook in batches.
- Cook the chicken for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing or serving.
