Description

Juicy, tender chicken fillets seasoned with a savory blend of spices and cooked in the air fryer until golden and flavorful. This quick and easy meal delivers a lightly crisp exterior and moist interior, perfect for weeknight dinners, salads, wraps, or meal prep.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken fillets (about 200 g each)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 190°C (375°F) and allow it to heat for about 3 minutes.
  2. In a mixing bowl combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to form a seasoning mixture.
  3. Pat the chicken fillets dry with paper towels.
  4. Add the chicken to the bowl and coat evenly with the seasoning mixture on all sides.
  5. Lightly grease the air fryer basket and place the chicken in a single layer.
  6. Cook for 10 minutes, then flip the chicken and cook for another 6 to 8 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).
  7. Remove from the air fryer and let the chicken rest for 3 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
  • Allow the chicken to rest before slicing so the juices stay inside.
  • If the fillets are very thick, pound them slightly so they cook evenly.
  • Leftover chicken can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
