Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
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.
- Step 2
Pat the chicken dry, then brush evenly with the oil.
- Step 3
Combine the smoked paprika, thyme, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl, then rub evenly all over the chicken.
- Step 4
Air fry the chicken breasts at 380 degrees 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 165 degrees, 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. Enjoy!
