Ingredients
- 1 lb 500g boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- For the seasoning oil:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp chicken seasoning any poultry spice mix
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp salt

Instructions
Make the marinade:

Prep the chicken:
- Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
Season:
- Brush the seasoned oil mixture generously over each chicken breast until fully coated.
Air fry:
- Place chicken breasts in the air fryer basket. Cook at 375ºF (190ºC) for 7 minutes.
Flip and finish:
- Flip the chicken, then cook for another 2–3 minutes, or until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165ºF (74ºC).
Rest and serve:

Notes
For large chicken breasts, add 5–7 minutes of extra cook time.
Letting the chicken rest before slicing keeps it juicy.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure it’s cooked through.
