1tbspitalian seasoning
1tspgarlic powder
1tspsalt
¾tspblack pepper
¾tsppaprika
Instructions
Preheat air fryer to 370 degrees. (You can use 375 degrees if your air fryer doesn't offer 370.)
Stir together italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika. Rub olive oil on the chicken breasts (or use a nonstick spray). Press the seasoning mixture onto the chicken.
Place chicken breasts in a single layer in the preheated air fryer so they're not overlapping. Air fry for 10 minutes. Flip chicken. Air fry for another 5 to 10 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 155 to 160 degrees. Be careful not to overcook. (Temperature AFTER resting should be 165 degrees.)Final cooking time will vary based on the thickness of your chicken and the model air fryer you're using.
Remove chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
