Ingredients
  

  • Olive Oil
  • Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
  • Kosher Salt
  • Oregano – Or try one of these substitutes for oregano.
  • Paprika – Or try one of these paprika substitutes.
  • Black Pepper
  • Garlic Powder

Method
 

Prep the Chicken
  1. Start by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Then use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound each piece to an even thickness. This helps it cook evenly and stay juicy.
Season Generously
  1. Drizzle a bit of olive oil over each breast. Rub the seasoning mix on all sides so the flavor sticks during cooking.
Air Fry
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F or 200°C. Place the chicken in a single layer inside the basket. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Rest and Serve
  1. Remove the chicken and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices stay inside the meat instead of spilling out.
