Ingredients
- 🍗 Chicken Breasts: 4 pieces (about 1.5 lbs or 680 g)

Instructions
- Marinate the chicken by whisking together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and place in a single layer in the air fryer basket.

- Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of the chicken pieces.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked through.
