Delicious Air Fryer Chicken Breast Recipe - Mediterranean Style

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 pieces chicken breasts (boneless and skinless)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin for flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked for added flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, pepper, and lemon juice until well combined.

    Marinate for at least 30 minutes for enhanced flavor.
  2. Marinate Chicken

    Add chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate.

    Longer marination results in more flavor.
  3. Preheat Air Fryer

    Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat for about 5 minutes.

    Preheating ensures even cooking.
  4. Air Fry the Chicken

    Place the marinated chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 15-20 minutes.

    Check for doneness with a meat thermometer; it should read 165°F (75°C).
  5. Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley.

    Serve with a side of Mediterranean salad or rice.
