Ingredients
  

  • 3 piece Chicken breasts, boneless skinless (about 180g each)
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Salt

  3. Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in the air fryer basket with space between each piece.

  5. Rest the chicken for 5 minutes before slicing to keep the juices inside.
