Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 2 chicken breasts boneless, skinless
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
- Begin by pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness. This step ensures they cook evenly and remain juicy.
Season the Chicken
- In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil, then sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over both sides.
Cook in the Air Fryer
- Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (if needed).
- Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Cook for 10 minutes, then flip the chicken and continue cooking for an additional 4-8 minutes.
- Check for doneness with a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 160°F.
Rest and Serve
- Once done, tent the chicken with foil and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring every bite is moist and flavorful.
