Preparation
- Pat dry the chicken with paper towels. If one end of a breast is noticeably thicker, gently pound it with a meat mallet until the thickness is uniform—about ½ to ¾ inches—so it cooks evenly.
- Drizzle the olive oil over both sides of the breasts. In a small bowl, whisk together the salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and oregano. Rub this spice mixture thoroughly into the meat, coating both sides.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375 °F (190 °C).
Place the seasoned breasts in a single layer inside the fryer basket—no overlapping.
- Cook for 10–15 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through. The exact time depends on the size of the breasts; the goal is a golden-brown exterior and a fully cooked interior.
- Use an instant-read thermometer: the chicken is safe to eat when the thickest part reaches 165 °F (74 °C).
- Transfer the breasts to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping each bite succulent.
