Crispy Air-Fried Chicken Breast

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Air-Fried Chicken Breast.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your air fryer to a cozy 360°F (182°C).

2. Step 2

   While it warms up, take your chicken breast and give it a light brush of olive oil on both sides.

5. Step 5

   Once seasoned, place the chicken breast in the air fryer basket with the seasoned side facing down.

   Don’t forget to season the other side with the same delicious mix of garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

   Now it’s time to let the air fryer work its magic! Cook the chicken for 9 minutes, then flip it over and let it cook for another 9 minutes.

   You’ll know it’s done when the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.
