Ingredients: 2 chicken breast (boneless, skinless 1.5 lbs) 1 tablespoon olive oil ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste) ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper (or to taste) 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon smoked paprika 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning 1 tablespoon brown sugar Recipe Instructions: 1. Mix the seasonings: to a small bowl, add the salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning and brown sugar. Stir until well blended. Set aside. 2. Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel, then pound the chicken using a mallet or rolling pin to even out the thickness (this also tenderizes the chicken). 3. Brush the chicken breast with olive oil, then sprinkle with the seasoning mixture. Rub the seasoning in. Let the chicken rest with the seasoning mixture for 5 minutes. 4. Preheat air fryer: After the chicken has rested with the seasoning for 5 minutes, preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. If you don’t have a preheat option, then heat for 5 minutes. 5. Once the air fryer is ready, add the chicken breast smooth side down, and cook for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, flip the chicken and cook for an additional 5 to 8 minutes until the internal temperature is 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Cooking times can vary depending on the thickness of your chicken breast. Be sure to use a food thermometer and immediately remove the chicken when it reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. 6. Remove the chicken from the air fryer and onto a plate. Let the chicken rest for 5 to 10 minutes before cutting (very important step for juiciness). Products I used to make this recipe.
