Description

This juicy air fryer boneless chicken breast is packed with so much flavor and is very easy to make in under 20 minutes. It makes a wonderful quick and easy meal prep recipe and is one of the best methods for cooking chicken breast perfectly every time!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts – about 56 ounces each
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley – for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken breast. Pat each piece of chicken breast dry with a clean paper towel. Place the chicken into a bowl and drizzle it with olive oil and rub the oil all over the chicken. 
  2. 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. 
  3. 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. 
  4. 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.
