500 g (1lb) chicken breasts boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp chicken seasoning
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp smoked paprika

Cook for 7 minutes at 190ºC/375ºF then flip the chicken over and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Cook times will depend on the size of the breasts. Large breasts will require longer cooking time while small or medium breasts should be done in 10 minutes. Remove from the air fryer then allow to rest for a few minutes before serving with sides of your choice.

Any leftovers can be kept in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Cooled chicken can be shredded and kept in the freezer for up to month for quick and easy meals.
