Air Fryer Boneless Chicken Breasts

Step 1

Fill a large bowl with room temperature water and stir in kosher salt until it dissolves.

Step 2

Add the chicken breasts to the salt water and allow to soak for 30 minutes up to an hour or two. Remove the chicken breast from the soak and pat dry with paper towels.

Step 3

If you are using standard chicken breasts, place each breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound the thicker end gently with a meat mallet to flatten the chicken breast to an even thickness.

Step 4

In a large bowl, drizzle the chicken breasts with olive oil and toss to coat completely.

Step 5

Combine the spices in a small bowl and stir together. Sprinkle HALF* of the spice mixture over the chicken breasts and rub in.

Step 6

Spray air fryer with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 7

Working in batches of two chicken breasts at a time, place the chicken in the air fryer and cook at 380°F for 8 minutes.

Step 8

Flip the chicken breasts over and sprinkle some of the remaining seasoning over the top of the chicken breast to make a pretty finished presentation.

Step 9

Cook for another 8-9 minutes, until the internal temperature registers 165°F.
