A quick and easy recipe for perfectly cooked, juicy air fryer chicken breasts seasoned with a flavorful blend of chili powder, Italian seasoning, garlic, and onion powders. Ideal for a healthy weeknight dinner or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 chicken breasts (skinless, boneless)

Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (or oil of choice)
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or oregano)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 390°F (199°C) and allow it to preheat fully to ensure even cooking.
  2. Prepare Seasoning Mix: In a small bowl, whisk together chili powder, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Prepare Chicken: Optionally pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness to promote uniform cooking. Rub both sides of each chicken breast with olive oil, then generously sprinkle with the seasoning mix, ensuring even coverage.
  4. Cook Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the preheated air fryer basket. Cook for 10 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) indicating it is fully cooked.
  5. Rest and Serve: Remove the chicken breasts from the air fryer and let them rest for at least 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use chicken breasts of similar size to ensure even cooking.
  • If you prefer spicier chicken, increase the chili powder or add cayenne pepper.
  • Resting the chicken after cooking keeps it juicy and tender.
  • Pounding the chicken to even thickness is optional but recommended for uniform doneness.
  • Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer to ensure food safety.
