👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (204°C) for 5 minutes.
2. 2(Optional) If your chicken breasts are thicker than ½”, either pound them or butterfly them so they are an even thickness. This is optional but it will help the chicken breast cook more quickly and more evenly.

4. 4In a small bowl, stir together the seasonings (1 teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon italian seasoning, and ¼ teaspoon paprika). Sprinkle the spice rub over both sides of the chicken breasts.
5. 5Carefully grease your air fryer basket with olive oil spray and place the chicken in the air fryer.
6. 6Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 18-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165F. For this recipe, there is no need to flip the chicken while cooking.
7. 7Allow the chicken to rest in the air fryer for 5 minutes before slicing. Enjoy.
