Craving juicy, tender chicken breast but short on time? The air fryer is your new best friend! Forget long cooking times and dry, flavorless chicken. But how long should you actually put chicken breast in the air fryer?
Generally, you'll want to air fry chicken breast for **10-12 minutes at 375°F (190°C)**. However, cooking time depends on the thickness of your chicken. Thicker breasts (over 1 inch) may need up to 15 minutes. Always use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
For even cooking, pat your chicken breast dry before seasoning. A light coating of oil helps it crisp up nicely. And remember to flip the chicken halfway through the cooking time! Air frying chicken breast is a game-changer for quick and healthy meals. Enjoy!
