Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • olive oil cooking spray
  • sea salt and black pepper
  • paprika

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees F for a few minutes. This ensures the chicken cooks evenly and achieves that perfect golden-brown crispiness.
  • Drizzle a little olive oil over the chicken breasts or use a cooking spray for an even coating. Season with your favorite blend of spices, ensuring both sides are well-covered. 
  • Place the seasoned frozen chicken breasts in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to allow proper air circulation, which ensures an even cook.
  • Cook the frozen chicken breasts for 16-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Cooking times may vary based on your specific air fryer model, so adjust accordingly.
  • Using a meat thermometer, ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to guarantee it's fully cooked.
  • Allow the air-fried chicken breasts to rest for a few minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices for a juicy interior. Garnish with fresh herbs for a burst of flavor.
