Air Fryer Chicken Breast
Boneless chicken breasts in a smoked paprika marinade, air fried until golden outside and still juicy in the middle.
Ingredients
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dried onion
- 1/4 teaspoon dried garlic
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for about 3 to 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, dried onion, dried garlic and avocado oil to create a marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or resealable bag and coat them evenly with the marinade. Marinate for at least 15 to 20 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it in the basket in a single layer, rounded side down.
- Cook at 380°F (190°C) for 22 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden outside and 165°F (74°C) inside.
- Remove the chicken and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Garnish with fresh herbs or lemon wedges if desired, and serve with your favourite sides.
