Ingredients
Scale
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this easy-peasy dish:
- 2 frozen chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Here are the steps to make this dish:
- Preheat your air fryer to 360°F. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes, just enough time to gather your spices and seasonings.
- Brush the frozen chicken breasts with olive oil, ensuring they’re well coated for that crispy exterior.
- In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning mix generously over both sides of the chicken.
- Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overlapping for even cooking.
- Cook in the air fryer for 18-22 minutes, flipping halfway through. You’ll know they’re done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F, and the outside is golden brown.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute, keeping the meat juicy.
And there you have it—a quick, tasty meal without the stress. Remember, like all good things in my kitchen, this recipe is meant to be adapted and loved.
