Recipe Instructions

Free printable recipe is available on our site: https://www.kitchensanctuary.com/air-fryer-chicken-breast/

Ingredients:
2 chicken breasts (about 180g/6.5oz each)
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp garlic powder or use garlic salt, but omit the regular salt
½ tsp dried oregano
1 tsp light brown sugar optional, but adds a tiny bit of caramelization
1 tbsp neutral oil

Instructions
1. Place the chicken breasts in a plastic sandwich bag or between two pieces of baking paper.

2. Bash a few times with a rolling pin. We don’t want to flatten the chicken a lot – we just want to even out the thickness, so it’s the thickest part we want to bash a few times.

3. It should still look like a chicken breast after a few light bashes (we don’t want it to thin like a chicken steak).

4. Mix together the salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, oregano and sugar in a medium bowl.

5. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl with the seasoning and toss together to fully coat the chicken.

6. Drizzle over the oil and toss to fully coat.

7. Place in the airfryer basket (no liner, we want it straight on the tray), in a single layer, with a bit of space in between the chicken breasts for good airflow. Air fry for 11-12 minutes (no need to pre-heat) at 200C/400F, turning once, halfway through cooking. The chicken should no longer be pink in the middle (internal temp 75C/167F).

Notes
Cooking more than two?
If cooking more than 2 chicken breasts, you may need to work in batches. We need to be able to layer the chicken in a single layer, with a little bit of space around each piece for good airflow.

Size of chicken breast
If your chicken breasts are larger than the 180g/6.5oz that I use, you’ll need to cook for as little longer.
198g/7oz each – cook the two breasts for 12-13 minutes
227g/8oz- cook the two breasts for 13-14 minutes

The chicken should be piping hot throughout and sign of no pink in the thickest part of the chicken (internal temp 75C/167F).

Can I use frozen chicken breasts?
You’ll get the best and juiciest result using fresh chicken breasts. So you’ll need to defrost frozen chicken breasts before using. I defrost them overnight in the refrigerator.
