With the air fryer, you can achieve the perfect flavorful chicken breasts with a slightly crispy exterior, all while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
In a large bowl, combine 2 Tbsp olive oil, 2 tsp dried thyme, 2 tsp onion powder, 2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt and ½ tsp black pepper. Mix everything together.
Toss the seasonings with the raw chicken breasts, spreading it onto both sides.
Heat the air fryer at 375℉ for 5 minutes. Add in the chicken in a single layer and cook for 10 minutes. Flip and cook 10 minutes more, or until it reaches 165℉ internally when poked with a meat thermometer.
Remove and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to circulate. Serve and enjoy.
Recipe Notes:
Same-size chicken breasts will cook better. You can use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness if needed.
Cook the chicken in a single layer. Overcrowing the basket will cause uneven cooking. It’s better to cook in two separate batches if needed.
Store chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
