Notes

  • Adjust the chicken seasonings however you'd like, and get creative to make other varieties. 
  • You can make two or three chicken breasts with this recipe, depending on the size of the pieces and the size of your air fryer basket. 
  • Pro Tip: This recipe can be made in the air fryer unit with a basket or the air fryer oven. If you are using the air fryer oven, use the middle rack and select the "Air Fry" function.
  • Pro Tip: Check your food as it cooks. Each air fryer runs a bit differently. Sometimes airfrying is a trial and error process. Check your food as it cooks to learn your air fryer better! When cooking a new recipe or food items be sure to check your food often to help avoid over/under cooking.
