Air Fryer Chicken Breast

Ingredients

• 2 (about 175g each) Chicken breasts, bashed to an even 2cm thickness
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp Black pepper

You’ll need: Air fryer, Meat thermometer (recommended)

Method

1. 1

   Heat the air fryer to 180°C. Pat the chicken dry.

2. 2

   Rub the chicken with the oil, then coat both sides with the paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Put the chicken in the basket in a single layer, not touching. Cook for 18–22 minutes, turning halfway, until golden.

4. 4

   Check it is cooked: the thickest part should reach 75°C on a meat thermometer, or be white all the way through with clear juices and no pink. If not, cook for 2–3 more minutes and check again.

5. 5

   Rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve.
