Preparation

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer to 200°C (400°F).
  2. Pat the chicken breasts thoroughly dry with paper towels. Place them between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently flatten them with a large wine bottle or meat mallet to achieve uniform thickness.
  3. In a bowl, mix the olive oil and spices to form a paste.
  4. Generously brush the chicken breasts on top.
  5. Place the breasts in the Air Fryer basket in a single layer, without overlapping.
  6. Cook for approximately 18 to 20 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Cooking time may vary depending on your air fryer model — using a meat thermometer is highly recommended.
  7. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing so the juices redistribute and every bite is ultra tender.
