Equipment

  • 1 air fryer
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 measuring spoons
  • 1 meat thermometer

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts About 1.5 lbs total.

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Start by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to help achieve a nice grilled texture.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well to create a marinade.
  • Add the chicken breasts to the marinade bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 10 minutes for better flavor.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (190°C).
  • Once preheated, place the marinated chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Do not overcrowd; you may need to cook in batches if necessary.
  • Cook the chicken for 10 minutes, then flip each breast over and cook for an additional 10 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
  • Once cooked, remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
