This recipe is a quick and easy way to cook juicy and flavorful chicken breasts in your air fryer.

Ingredients:

 * 2-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

 * 1 tablespoon olive oil

 * 1 teaspoon salt

 * 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

 * 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

 * 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

 * 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional)

Instructions:

 * Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.

 * Season: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika (if using). Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.

 * Air Fry: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the air fryer basket. Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer. Flip the chicken breasts halfway through cooking.

 * Rest: Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips and Variations:

 * For extra flavor: Marinate the chicken in your favorite marinade for at least 30 minutes before air frying.

 * Add veggies: Roast vegetables alongside the chicken in the air fryer for a complete meal. Try broccoli, carrots, or potatoes.

 * Top with herbs: Sprinkle fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, or rosemary over the cooked chicken.

 * Make it spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix.

Enjoy your perfectly cooked air fryer chicken breasts!
