Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Pound the chicken breasts to even thickness using a meat mallet.
Rub the chicken with olive oil on both sides.
In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
Place the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Cook for 10 minutes, flip, and cook for an additional 6-8 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
Letting the chicken rest after cooking helps retain moisture.
Adjust seasonings to your preference or add a spicy kick with cayenne pepper.
