Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 lemon, juiced
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium bowl whisk together olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and lemon juice until smooth.
- Add the chicken breasts, coat them evenly, and let rest for 5‑7 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.
- Arrange the chicken in a single layer in the air‑fryer basket, making sure pieces do not overlap.
- Cook for 12‑15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Remove the chicken, let it rest 2‑3 minutes, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve.
Notes
- For extra crispness
- pat chicken dry before marinating. Use an instant‑read thermometer for best results. Leftovers reheat well in the air fryer to retain texture.
