Equipment
  • meat mallet
Ingredients
  • 2 large Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts (about 8 oz each)
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
Instructions
  • If the chicken breasts are very thick, place each one between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even 3/4-inch thickness. This ensures even cooking.
  • Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil on all sides. In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Season the chicken evenly on both sides.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for 3 minutes.
  • Place the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 380°F for 10 minutes, then flip and cook for another 6 to 8 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • Remove the chicken and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before slicing. This keeps all the juices locked inside. Serve as desired.
