Description

A delightful blend of juicy chicken breasts infused with aromatic herbs and garlic, cooked to perfection in an air fryer.


Ingredients

  • 🍗 Chicken Breasts: 4 pieces (about 1.5 lbs or 680 g)
  • 🛢️ Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons
  • 🧄 Garlic: 4 cloves, minced
  • 🌱 Dried Thyme: 1 teaspoon
  • 🌱 Dried Rosemary: 1 teaspoon
  • 🌱 Dried Oregano: 1 teaspoon
  • 🧂 Salt: 1 teaspoon (or to taste)
  • 🧂 Pepper: 1/2 teaspoon (or to taste)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken by mixing olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  2. Pat the chicken breasts dry and coat them with the marinade, letting them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
  4. Place the marinated chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. Check for doneness using a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  6. Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For best flavor, marinate the chicken for up to 2 hours.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked through.
  • Adjust cooking time based on the size of chicken pieces.
  • Fresh herbs can be used instead of dried, but adjust quantities accordingly.
