Instructions

Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
Rub each chicken breast with olive oil on all sides.
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning blend evenly over both sides of the chicken.
Place chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Cook for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Thicker chicken breasts may need a few extra minutes—use a meat thermometer to be sure.
Great for slicing over salads, stuffing into wraps, or serving with veggies and rice.

You can change up the spices—try Italian seasoning, lemon pepper, or Cajun blend.
