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.

Notes

Nutrition values are an estimate. Cook to an internal temperature of 165°F, or pull at 160°F and let carryover heat finish it. Rest for 5 minutes before slicing, and always slice across the grain.
