Description

Air fryer frozen chicken breasts are tender, juicy, golden brown, and seasoned to perfection. Easy chicken dinner ready in 20 minutes!

Ingredients 

  • 2 6 ounce boneless, skinless chicken breast (frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 tesapoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon seasonings, any kind

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 360 degrees F (182°C). This ensures even cooking right from the start.
  • While the air fryer is preheating, prepare the frozen chicken breasts. Lightly brush each side of the chicken breasts with olive oil. This helps the seasoning stick and aids in browning.
  • Season the chicken breasts generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. If you’re using any other herbs or spices, apply them now as well. The seasoning not only adds flavor but also helps to form a delicious crust.
  • Place the frozen chicken breasts in the air fryer basket. Make sure to leave some space between each piece to allow for proper air circulation. This is crucial for achieving an even cook.
  • Cook the chicken for about 18-20 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, open the air fryer and flip the chicken breasts. This ensures that both sides cook evenly and get a nice color.
  • After the cooking time is up, check the internal temperature of the chicken using a meat thermometer. The safe internal temperature for chicken is 165°F (75°C). If it hasn’t reached this temperature, cook for an additional few minutes and check again.
  • Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the chicken more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the cooked chicken breasts as is, or slice them up for salads, wraps, or any other dish you're preparing.
