Air Fryer Chicken Breast
Air fryer chicken breasts without breading is a tasteful, tender, and juicy dish that is super easy to make.
Equipment
- Kitchen Tongs
- Meat thermometer
Ingredients
- 4 8 ounce chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon (5 g) Spanish paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon (3 g) Lawry's seasoned salt or similar
- Spray cooking oil
Instructions
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel.
- Combine the paprika and seasoned salt. Season each piece of chicken.
- Spray the bottom of the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
- Place chicken in the basket. Cook at 360°(185°C) for 18 minutes, turning the pieces over at the halfway mark.
- Remove from air fryer and rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- If the chicken breasts are large in size or are thicker, they will take more time to cook. You can cut the breasts in half or pound them to reduce the thickness.
- Make sure the internal temperature reaches 165°F(75°C) so that it is safe to eat.
- If cooking from frozen, it will take just a few minutes longer than from fresh. Add 3 minutes per side for frozen and be sure to check the temperature before eating.
- The chicken will not cook thoroughly if stacked on top of each other, so be sure to move the pieces around the basket a few times during cooking if they are overlapping.
All air fryers have different wattage and may cook at different rates. You may need to adjust the time or temp for the best results.
