For a succulent and healthy meal, air-frying chicken breast without breading is a fantastic option. Start with boneless, skinless chicken breasts, ideally of even thickness for uniform cooking. Marinate the chicken in a blend of olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper for at least 30 minutes; this enhances the flavour while keeping the meat tender.
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (about 400°F). Once ready, place the marinated chicken in the fryer basket, ensuring there’s enough space for air circulation. Cook for around 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F). The result is a perfectly juicy chicken breast with a delightful golden exterior, packed with flavour and ready to be served with a side of seasonal vegetables or a fresh salad. Enjoy your low-fat yet flavourful dish, guilt-free and oh-so-satisfying!
