Description
A flavorful and easy recipe for Air Fryer Garlic Herb Chicken Breast, perfect for a quick and healthy meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound total)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and place them in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring both sides are well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes for better flavor.
- Place the marinated chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Cook the chicken at 380°F for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the marinade.
- You can also substitute the herbs with Italian seasoning for a different flavor profile.
- Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
