Ingredients
  

  • 2 chicken breasts (8 to 9 oz each)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Dry and prick chicken:

    Use paper towels to dry the chicken breasts completely. Prick both sides of the chicken with a fork.

  • Whisk marinade ingredients:

    Combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, and lemon juice in a small bowl; whisk until blended.

  • Marinate chicken briefly:

    Cover the chicken with the mixture and allow it to marinate for 5 minutes.

  • Air fry chicken until done:

    Heat the air fryer to 380°F (195°C) for 5 minutes. Put the chicken breasts in the basket and cook for 10 minutes. Turn them over and cook another 10 minutes, until the internal temperature hits 165°F (75°C).

  • Rest chicken before cutting:

    Take the chicken out of the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes before cutting.
