How To Make Air Fryer Chicken Breasts
Prep Time: 05 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
INGREDIENTS:
- 4 chicken breasts
- ½ tbsp rapeseed oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 ½ tsp garlic granules
- 1 tsp smoked sweet paprika
- 2 tsp mixed herbs
- ½ tsp pepper
- steamed rice and greens such as broccoli or green beans or a green salad, to serve (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Coat the chicken in the oil and set aside. In a bowl, combine the salt, garlic, paprika and mixed herbs with a good grinding of black pepper, then scatter onto a plate.
2. Roll each oiled chicken breast in the seasoning and put in your air fryer basket. Cook at 180C for 18-20 mins, turning after 10 mins. To check it is cooked, pierce the chicken with a knife at the thickest part to see if the juices run clear. Or insert a temperature thermometer and it should read 70C. Serve with rice and greens or a salad.
