Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts medium
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lemon zest and juice
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients except chicken in a large bowl and mix well.
- Add chicken breasts to the bowl and turn them over to fully coat in the marinade. Let them sit for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Warm up the air fryer for 5 minutes before placing the chicken inside.
- Cook chicken for 10 minutes at 380 degrees F 190 C, then flip and continue cooking for another 4 to 10 minutes until the chicken’s internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
- Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- The cook time will depend on the size and thickness of the chicken breast
- Smaller chicken breasts may be done in 14 minutes total, while larger may take 18-20 minutes
- I highly recommend a meat thermometer to check when the internal temperature measures 165 degrees F
- This recipe is easy to double if you have more chicken breasts
- I will frequently do 4 at a time, especially if the chicken breasts are small or medium size
