Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time25 minutes
2 servings

Equipment

  • Ninja Foodi Multicooker

Ingredients

  • 2 Chicken Breasts frozen
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons garlic salt
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper or to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 360°F/180°C for five minutes. While that's happening, mix together the garlic salt, onion powder, paprika, dill, dried parsley, and black pepper.
  • Use your hands or a brush to coat the chicken breasts with olive oil. Then sprinkle the spice mixture on top of each piece of chicken evenly.
  • Place the chicken breasts in the air fryer and cook at 360 degrees on the air fryer setting for 10 minutes.
  • Test the chicken using an instant read thermometer. If it has reached an internal temperature of 155°F, you can stop cooking. If it has not, continue cooking at 5 minute intervals until the chicken is fully cooked.
  • Allow the chicken to rest for at least 5 minutes. This will bring the chicken to it's final safe temperature of 165°F/74°C, and keep the meat juicy.

Notes

  • After cooking frozen chicken breasts in the Ninja Foodi, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. This chicken recipe is great for meal prep lunches.
  • Cook the chicken to just under 160°F, and then let it rest for 5 minutes. The chicken will continue to cook as it rests. 
  • The amount of time needed to cook frozen chicken in the ninja foodi will depend on the size and thickness of the chicken breasts. Smaller pieces may be done after 10-15 minutes, while larger ones can take up to 25 minutes. 
  • There's no need to flip the breasts over. 
  • Avoid crowding the basket. 
  • Adjust the seasonings to include any of your favorites. 
  • Pro Tip: Check your food as it cooks. Each air fryer runs a bit differently. Sometimes air frying 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.
