Calories: 204kcal
Equipment
- Air Fryer
- Parchment paper or air fryer basket liner.
- Meat thermometer
- Mixing bowls
- Cutting board
- Rolling pin
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp steak seasoning
- 1.3 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp sweet paprika
- 1/2 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tbsp freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Start the recipe by mixing steak seasoning, smoked paprika, sweet paprika, and black pepper in a small bowl.
- Place chicken breasts on the cutting board and cover them with parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to flatten the meat, so it is tender when you cook in the air fryer. You want even thickness from one end to the other of the chicken.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 to 5 minutes. Brush the olive oil on both sides of the chicken breast.
- Coat both sides of the chicken breast with the prepared seasoning. Mix everything well using your hands to make sure the entire chicken is evenly coated with the spices.
- Once done, transfer the chicken pieces to the air fryer basket and cook it for 7 minutes straight. After this, flip the chicken and cook it for another 6 minutes.
- Once the 13 minutes are over, check the chicken breast temperature using a meat thermometer. You need the internal temperature of the chicken to reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit. If it is still not there, cook it for another 2 to 3 minutes, and you are good to go.
- Remove the chicken pieces from the air fryer basket and place them on a clean cutting board. Let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing the chicken. Cut the chicken breasts into small pieces, serve with your favorite side dishes, and enjoy.
