Air Fryer Chicken Breast

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Stir or whisk until well combined.

Step 2

Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Place chicken breasts in a zip-top bag or between two layers of parchment paper and use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound them to an even thickness.

Step 3

Rub the olive oil over all sides of the chicken breasts. Then rub the spice mixture on both sides of the chicken.

Step 4

Place chicken in a single layer in the air fryer. Cook at 400° for 8 minutes, then flip chicken over and continue cooking for 5-12 more minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken is 165° F at the thickest part of the breast. (The cook time will depend on the size of your chicken breasts.)

Step 5

Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
