Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 thin-sliced chicken breasts (4–6 oz each)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil (optional for crispiness)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning

Instructions

  • Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

    • Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for 3-5 minutes.

    Step 2: Prepare the Chicken

    • Pat the thin sliced chicken breast dry with paper towels.
    • Lightly coat with olive oil and rub in the seasonings.

    Step 3: Arrange in the Air Fryer Basket

    • Place the chicken in a single layer (do not overlap).

    Step 4: Air Fry the Chicken

    • Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway at the 5-6 minute mark.
    • Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

    Step 5: Rest & Serve

    • Let the chicken rest for 2 minutes before slicing.
    • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or side dishes.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, spray a little oil on the chicken before cooking.
  • For even thinner slices, pound the chicken lightly before air frying.
  • Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
