Introduction
Air frying is a healthier alternative to deep frying as it requires little to no oil, resulting in a lighter and crispier texture. Chicken breast is a lean protein source that can be easily cooked in an air fryer.
Steps to Air Fry Chicken Breast
1. Start by preheating your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for a few minutes.
2. Season the chicken breast with your favorite herbs and spices such as garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Place the seasoned chicken breast in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd.
4. Cook the chicken breast for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking process to ensure even browning.
5. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken breast. It should reach 165°F (74°C) to be fully cooked.
6. Once done, let the chicken breast rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
By air frying chicken breast, you can enjoy a healthier and delicious meal that is quick and easy to prepare.
