Air Fryer Chicken Breast

Ingredients (for 2 pers.):

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

 

Instructions:

If the chicken breasts are quite large, place in a zip top bag and pound to uniform thickness, or butterfly the chicken by cutting it in half lengthwise to make 2 pieces.
Pat the chicken dry, then brush evenly with the oil.
Combine the smoked paprika, thyme, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl, then rub evenly all over the chicken.
Air fry the chicken breasts at 200°C in a single layer for 8 minutes, then flip and continue cooking until an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast reaches 75°C, around 7-10 minutes more depending on the size and thickness. Cover the chicken loosely with foil and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
