Ingredients
- 3 boneless skinless Chicken Breasts
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sea Salt
- ½ teaspoon Minced Garlic
Instructions
Preheat Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically around 165°F (74°C).
Prepare the Chicken:
- Begin by brushing the chicken breasts with olive oil. Ensure both sides of the chicken are coated with the oil.
- Combine paprika, black pepper, sea salt, and minced garlic to create a spice mixture. Rub this mixture onto both sides of the chicken breasts.
Put Chicken in the Air Fryer:
- Arrange the seasoned chicken breasts in a single layer in the air fryer basket. This allows them to cook evenly.
- Cook the chicken breasts in the air fryer for about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Then, flip the chicken breasts over and cook for an additional five or so minutes. Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
Check Internal Temperature:
- To ensure the chicken is fully cooked, check the internal temperature using a meat thermometer. Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the chicken breasts. See below for more info:
Notes
Cooking Time Guidelines:
- For chicken breasts that are around ½ inch (1.2 cm) thick or thicker, cook for approximately 10 minutes.
- If the thickness is around 1 inch (2.5 cm), cook for about 15 minutes.
- Thicker breasts of about 1 ½ inches (4 cm) require 20 to 22 minutes.
- For chicken breasts that are exceptionally thick, around 2 inches, cook for 28 to 30 minutes.
