Tired of dry, rubbery chicken breast? Say hello to air fryer perfection! Learning how to make chicken breast in an air fryer is a game-changer. It's fast, easy, and results in incredibly juicy and flavorful chicken.
Forget long bake times. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Pat your chicken breasts dry – this is key for crispy edges! Season generously with your favorite spices: salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder are a great starting point. You can also use pre-made seasoning blends.
Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the air fryer basket, ensuring they aren't overlapping. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through. The magic number is an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer to check!
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in even more tenderness. Enjoy your perfectly cooked air fryer chicken breast in salads, sandwiches, pasta dishes, or as a main course. Get ready to ditch the dry chicken forever!
