Ingredients
2poundsthin chicken breast
1ouncepacket/envelope Italian Seasoning Mix
1/4cupextra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Preheat Air Fryer to 375 degrees F.
Remove chicken breast from packaging and place onto parchment paper.
To prepare chicken seasoning, place Italian Seasoning packet and olive oil into a medium mixing bowl. Stir until well combined.
Using a pastry brush, brush seasoning mixture over both sides of chicken breast.
Using a fork, place chicken breast into basket of air fryer, making sure chicken is in a single layer. You don't want to stack chicken or over crowd the air fryer.
Cook Chicken on the first side for roughly 6 minutes (longer if your chicken is larger and not pounded). After 6 minutes open air fryer and use a clean fork to flip each chicken breast. Close air fryer and cook for an additional 6 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. I like to remove my chicken breast when temperature reaches 160 degrees F. then cover it to rest for 5 minutes. Chicken will continue cooking slightly when resting under tin foil.
