Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp chili powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for 3 minutes.
  2. Pat the chicken breasts dry and rub with olive oil.
  3. Mix all seasonings and coat the chicken evenly.
  4. Place chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  5. Cook for 16–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and fully cooked.
  6. Check that the thickest part reaches 165°F (74°C) internally.
  7. Rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tip: Avoid overcrowding the basket to help the chicken cook evenly and develop a flavorful, lightly crisp exterior.
