Description

Air Fryer Thin Chicken Breast -- The air fryer has become an indispensable kitchen hero for healthy, delicious, and time-saving dinner options.

Ingredients 

  • 4 thin chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil, or use olive oil spray
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon seasonings, Optional Seasonings

Instructions

  • Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes. This ensures that the chicken cooks evenly and develops a crispy crust.
  • Prepare the Chicken: Season the thinly sliced chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings or marinades. Ensure both sides of the chicken are evenly coated for maximum flavor.
  • Spray with Olive Oil: Lightly coat the chicken breasts with olive oil spray. This helps to promote browning and crisping in the air fryer.
  • Arrange in the Air Fryer Basket: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. If necessary, cook the chicken in batches to maintain proper air circulation.
  • Air Fry: Cook the chicken breasts in the preheated air fryer for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time. Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken slices and the specific model of your air fryer. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and has a golden brown exterior.
  • Serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring tender and juicy chicken.
  • Enjoy: Serve the air-fried thinly sliced chicken breasts hot with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, salad, or rice. They make a delicious and healthy main course for any meal.
