- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

- Season. Mix the spices (garlic powder, chili powder, Italian seasoning) and salt and pepper in a small bowl and rub the spice mixture all over the chicken making sure to cover all the surfaces of the chicken breast.
- Cook. Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees F and spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Once the air fryer is ready, place the chicken breasts into the air fryer basket about 2 inches apart making sure they are not overlapping. Cook the chicken for 8-9 minutes, flip and cook for 8-9 more minutes on the other side. You will know the chicken is done cooking once it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
- Serve. Once the chicken is done cooking remove it from the air fryer and place it onto a clean plate or cutting board. Let it rest for at least 5 minutes before you slice and serve it.
