Craving a quick and healthy meal? Look no further! Cooking raw chicken breast in the air fryer is a game-changer. Forget dried-out, boring chicken. The air fryer seals in the moisture, giving you incredibly juicy results every time.
Here's the gist: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Season your chicken breast generously with your favorite spices – think garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Place the seasoned chicken in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd it.
Cook for about 18-22 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer to ensure it's fully cooked. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Why air fryer? It's faster than the oven, uses less oil, and the circulating hot air creates a beautifully browned and delicious crust. Enjoy your perfectly cooked, healthy chicken breast in salads, sandwiches, or as a main course!
