Calories 205kcal
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approx 1 lb total)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
Instructions
- If desired, cover chicken breasts with plastic wrap and use a meat mallet, rolling pin, or the back of a skillet to pound the breasts into a more even thickness.
- If an option on your air fryer, preheat air fryer to 375 F. (If not, turn air fryer on for 2-3 minutes at 375 F prior to placing the chicken in the basket.)
- In a small bowl, combine all dry ingredients.
- Place chicken breasts in a clean bowl or on a plate. Pat them dry, then coat them evenly with olive oil.
- Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly onto the breasts and rub in to coat evenly.
- Place chicken breasts into the air fryer basket.
- Air fry for a total of 22-25 minutes, flipping them at minutes 8, 16, and 20, until they are browned on both sides and have reached an internal temperature of 160 F.*
- Remove from the air fryer and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
*Note: Chicken technically needs to be cooked to 165 F to be safe, but generally it will continue to cook and rise to 165 F even if removed at 160 F. Learn more here. However, if you would prefer to err on the side of caution, cook to 165 F.
