Ingredients
4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
▢1 tbsp olive oil, or use a nonstick spray
▢1 tbsp italian seasoning
▢1 tsp garlic powder
▢1 tsp salt
▢¾ tsp black pepper
▢¾ tsp paprika
Preheat air fryer to 370 degrees. (You can use 375 degrees if your air fryer doesn't offer 370.)
Stir together italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika. Rub olive oil on the chicken breasts (or use a nonstick spray). Press the seasoning mixture onto the chicken.
Place chicken breasts in a single layer in the preheated air fryer so they're not overlapping. Air fry for 10 minutes. Flip chicken. Air fry for another 5 to 10 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 155 to 160 degrees. Be careful not to overcook. (Temperature AFTER resting should be 165 degrees.)
Final cooking time will vary based on the thickness of your chicken and the model air fryer you're using.
Hot Mama Grade: A
Hot Mama Notes: This is only the third time using my air fryer, and the first time in almost a year. The chicken turned out very well even though it took much longer as it wasn't thawed. I took the chicken out of the freezer, but they were very thick pieces and did not thaw despite being out for a number of hours. Instead of 15 to 20 minutes, it was 40 minutes. I flipped the chicken every ten minutes. It meant a lot of the spices were left in the basket, sad day. But the chicken itself was very tasty and moist. I used an olive oil spray, and I sprayed the chicken every time I flipped as I was worried about it drying out. I also added more spices each flip. I used smoked paprika instead of regular because it is so tasty. The fry basket is a mess. I put it in the dishwasher, but the manual says only the insert can go in the dishwasher. Oops. Hopefully, it survives a single run through the dishwasher.
