Ingredients
•
1 (8 ounce) chicken breast
•
2 teaspoons olive oil
•
garlic powder to taste
•
salt to taste
Directions
1
Gather all ingredients. Preheat an air fryer to 360 degrees F (182 degrees C).
2
Brush both sides of chicken breast with olive oil; season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper on one side. Place chicken breast, seasoned-side down, into the air fryer basket and sprinkle the other side with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3
Cook in the preheated air fryer for 9 minutes. Flip chicken and continue cooking until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 9 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
4
Transfer chicken breast to a plate and loosely cover with aluminum foil. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
