Juicy, tender air fryer chicken breast is an amazing entree you can serve with virtually any side dish. Cooking chicken has never been easier!

📝 Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Season the chicken fillets on both sides, and brush or rub them with olive oil.
  2. 2Place the chicken breasts in an air fryer and cook for about 10 minutes on 360 °F / 180 °C. Use tongs to flip them, and cook on the other side for about 8-12 minutes.
  3. 3The exact cooking time will vary, and depends both on the make and model of your air fryer, as well as the size of the chicken breasts. To ensure that they are perfectly cooked, I recommend using a meat thermometer. The chicken can be removed from the air fryer when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 °F / 74 °C.
  4. 4Allow the chicken breasts to rest for 5 minutes before slicing them. The juices will settle into the meat, and the chicken will be nice and juicy.
