Equipment

Air fryer

Ingredients

1 lb chicken breast thinly sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 400 and prep your chicken by patting each breast dry with a paper towel.
Then, coat both sides of each breast with olive oil.
Next, season both sides with all seasonings evenly.
Arrange your chicken breasts in the air fryer in one layer (if you have several, you may need to work in batches depending on your air fryer size).
Air fry the chicken breast at 400 degrees for 7-10 minutes. Cook time will depend on the thickness of your chicken breast, so start checking on them around 6 minutes. When they're done, they should be cooked to 165 degrees (check with a meat thermometer like this one)
Serve on top of a salad, in a sandwich, or with potatoes or rice and a veggie!

Notes

Note: cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of chicken breasts as store thicknesses will vary. Thinly sliced chicken breast should take ~7-10 minutes, but start checking for doneness around 6 minutes if they're very thin.
