Air Fryer Chicken Breast

Highlights of this Air Fryer Chicken Breast Recipe:

Ingredient Notes

• I used chicken tenderloins instead of whole chicken breasts for quicker cooking and easier portioning.  If using whole breasts you will need to add a few minutes to cook time.
• While there are things that don’t require any oil for air frying, I suggested adding just a bit of oil in the recipe for best results.
• I used this greek seasoning which I find to be very versatile and packed with flavor, but feel free to sub any seasoning you like.

Preparation Notes

• While preheating your air fryer is generally recommended, I rarely do and still have great results. 
• Chicken is cooked when internal temp reaches 165 degrees F

Equipment Notes

• I prefer using an air fryer with a 5 quart or larger basket for most recipes. This is the one I use.
• A quick read thermometer is helpful when cooking meat so that you can ensure proper cooking temperature 

Recipe Notes

• If using regular breasts instead of tenderloins, you will likely need to add about 3-5 minutes to total cooking time. Check internal temp of chicken to ensure it’s done.

How To Prep Ahead

• Feel free to toss chicken with olive oil and seasoning and store in fridge up to 24 hours in advance until ready to cook

How To Store Leftovers

• Let cool completely then store in air tight containers in fridge up to 3 days 
• Chop and store in freezer for up to 3 months.
