Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 Chicken Breasts boneless, skinless
  • 1 t Smoked Paprika
  • 1 t Oregano
  • 1/2 t Garlic Salt
  • 1/4 t Cinnamon

Instructions

  • Start by mixing all the spices together and set aside.
  • Remove chicken breasts from the package. Trim breasts if needed.
  • Gently pat the spice mixture into the breasts, flip the chicken breasts and repeat.
  • Place the breasts into the air fryer basket or air fryer tray. Spritz with oil (this helps to crisp the spices and outside of the chicken).
  • Air Fry the breasts at 350F/176C for 16-18 minutes. Flip breasts midway through the cooking process and spritz again with oil. Cook until the breasts are at 165F/73C. Use a meat thermometer to measure the temp.
