Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts patted dry
  • 1 T olive oil
  • 1 t lemon pepper usually contains salt
  • 1 T lemon juice
  • ½ t garlic powder
  • ½ t onion powder
  • Optional: Replace lemon pepper with a seasoning blend that you have on hand.
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Pat dry the chicken breasts with a paper towel or clean kitchen towel. Set aside.
  • Preheat air fryer to 360F. 
  • Except for the salt and pepper, mix the seasonings, juice and oil in a small bowl.
  • Spoon, rub or brush the mixture over each side of the chicken breasts.
  • Add chicken to the basket.
  • Cook for 8 minutes.
  • Open the air fryer and flip the breasts with tongs.
  • Cook for an additional 5 minutes. It's best to check for doneness with a meat thermometer. It is done when it reaches 165 F internal temperature.
  • Let the chicken rest on the cutting board for two minutes before cutting into them.

Notes

If your seasoning blend or lemon pepper doesn't contain salt, you may want to add a 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the rest of the seasonings when adding the oil mixture.
