Ingredients

Chicken

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each)

1 tbsp olive oil

Seasoning

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp Italian seasoning

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

Equipment

Steps

1
Pound chicken breasts to even thickness (about 3/4 inch) for consistent cooking.
2
Brush with olive oil. Season generously on all sides with the spice mix.
3
Air fry at 380°F for 8-10 minutes per side until golden and 165°F internal.
4
Rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This keeps the juices inside.
5
Slice and serve, or store for meal prep up to 4 days.

💡

Tip: Pounding to even thickness is the single most important step — thick ends overcook on the outside before the center hits temp. A meat thermometer removes all guesswork.
