Equipment

1 Air Fryer

Ingredients

4 chicken breasts boneless, skinless
2 tablespoons avocado oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix together the avocado oil, salt, garlic granules, smoked sweet paprika, Italian herbs, and pepper to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a large bowl or shallow dish, and coat them evenly with the marinade.
Once coated, arrange the chicken breasts (with the rounded side facing down) in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overlapping.
Cook the chicken breasts in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Make sure to flip them halfway through the cooking time for even cooking.
Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve with your favorite sides.

Notes

Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts and the model of your air fryer. Adjust cooking time accordingly to ensure the chicken is cooked through.
