Total Time 1 hours 10 minutes

Prep Time 30 minutes

Cook Time 40 minutes

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 c.

extra-virgin olive oil

1/4 c.

soy sauce

3

garlic cloves, chopped

1 tbsp.

brown sugar 

2 tbsp.

lemon juice

1 tbsp.

dijon mustard

1 tsp.

fresh thyme leaves, chopped

1 tsp.

kosher salt

1/2 tsp.

ground black pepper

4 lb.

bone-in chicken pieces, such as drumsticks, thighs, or leg quarters

1 c.

marinade

Oil, as needed

Steps:

  • For the marinade: In a pint-sized mason jar, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, brown sugar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, thyme, salt and black pepper. Cover and shake well to combine. Use immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days before use. For the grilled chicken: Place the chicken in a zip-top gallon bag.  Add all of the marinade, seal the bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours).  Meanwhile, pre-heat one side of the grill to medium heat, around 350°, and leave the other side unlit. Oil the grill grates well.  Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Discard the remaining marinade. Place the chicken skin-side down over the lit side of the grill. Cover and cook until grill marks appear and the chicken easily releases, 6 to 8 minutes.  Flip the chicken and transfer it to the unlit side of the grill. Cover and cook until the internal temperature reads 165˚, 35 to 45 minutes more (depending on the size of your chicken pieces). Let rest for 5 minutes, then serve immediately.

Marinate the chicken for these Greek-style spiced kebabs as long as possible to soak up all the flavour and make it really tender. Serve with warm bread, salad and tzatziki

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course

Total Time 1 hours 25 minutes

Prep Time 45 minutes

Cook Time 40 minutes

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 23

12 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
4 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried mint
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp coriander
1 tsp sweet paprika
½ tsp ground cinnamon
zest and juice 1 lemon, plus 1 lemon cut into wedges to serve
4 garlic cloves, crushed
250g strong white bread flour
7g sachet fast-action dried yeast
1 tsp golden caster sugar
2 tsp olive oil, plus a little for greasing
½ cucumber
200g Greek yogurt
small bunch mint, finely chopped
1 small garlic clove, crushed
juice ½ lemon
1 butter or round lettuce
4 large tomatoes, seeds removed, chopped
1 red onion, halved and thinly sliced
4 long metal skewers

Steps:

  • Tip the chicken into a large bowl and add the marinade ingredients, along with 1 tsp salt and plenty of black pepper. Mix well, ensuring each thigh is well coated. Cover and chill for at least 3 hrs, or up to 48 hrs if you have time.
  • A few hours before you want to eat, make the pitta. In a bowl, mix the flour, yeast, sugar and 1/ 2 tsp salt with your fingertips. Add 150ml lukewarm water and 2 tsp olive oil, and combine to a dough. Tip onto a work surface and knead for 8-10 mins (or use a tabletop mixer for 5 mins). Clean, then lightly oil your bowl, return the dough and cover loosely with cling film. Leave to rise for 1 hr or until nearly doubled in size.
  • Divide the dough into four equal pieces. Roll out to circles, as thin as you can. Cover with sheets of oiled cling film and leave to rise for 15-20 mins.
  • To make the tzatziki, halve the cucumber lengthways and scoop out the seeds. Finely chop, then combine with the remaining ingredients, along with a pinch of salt. Chill until ready to serve.
  • Heat the grill to its highest setting. Line a roasting tin with foil and find 4 metal skewers long enough to sit across the top with a little space underneath. Remove the chicken from the fridge, take one thigh and thread it over 2 skewers, so it has a skewer through either side. Thread another piece of chicken on top, leaving a slight gap between each piece; you should fit 6 thighs on each pair of skewers. Position the skewers on top of the roasting tin and set aside while you finish the pittas.
  • Heat a large frying pan (or two if you have them) over a medium-high heat and brush the breads with oil. Gently lift one into the pan. It should sizzle, and bubbles should appear on the surface after 1-2 mins. When the underside is golden, flip it and cook for another 2-3 mins. Continue until all the breads are cooked, wrapping them in foil as you go. Keep the bread warm in the bottom of the oven while you cook the chicken. Alternatively, cook on the barbecue for 5-8 mins, turning occasionally.
  • Put the chicken under the hot grill and cook for 15-20 mins, brushing with oil and any juices from the bottom of the tin regularly, and turning halfway through cooking. Once cooked, remove from the oven and rest for 5 mins.
  • Cut through each pair of skewers to make four kebabs and serve in the warm bread, with lettuce, tomato, red onion, lemon wedges and tzatziki.

Air Fryer Chicken Breast

Cooking moist and juicy chicken breast in air fryer, in matter of minutes, is one of the Top reason why I use my air fryer every day.

Read on to know more tips and details.

What Do You Need to Make Moist Chicken Breast in Air Fryer?

Ingredients to make moist chicken breast in air fryer are easy to find pantry staples. Here is what you need to make marinate for chicken: 

  1. Olive oil
  2. Lemon Juice
  3. Garlic
  4. Herbs - Oregano & Cumin

Marinated Chicken Breast for Cooking in Air Fryer

To make chicken in air fryer, I start with marinating the chicken. Either leave chicken in marinade to marinate for at-least 20-30 minutes or refrigerate until ready to use (up-to overnight)

<ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block; text-align:center;min-height: 250px;" data-ad-layout="in-article" data-ad-format="fluid" data-ad-client="ca-pub-6316610776672658" data-ad-slot="8107393682"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script>

Cooking Moist Chicken Breast in Air Fryer

My experience with air fryer has taught me three important things to note while cooking perfectly moist chicken breast in air fryer. i.e. 

  1. Preheat Air Fryer - This ensures even cooking from the start. Chicken cook golden browns from outside and juicy inside.
  2. Adjust the timings as per the side/make and model of air fryer. (more on this ahead)
  3. Flip Chicken Breast half way through cooking. This ensure that chicken cooks evenly. Also gives good idea of how long it will take to chicken to be fully done. (very important to avoid dry chicken breast)

Cooking Chicken Breast in Air Fryer

I used Ninja Foodi Max XL Air Fryer (5.5 quart) and cooked boneless skinless chicken breast for this recipe. As shown in pictures above, process of cooking is very simple:

  1. Marinate Chicken Breast for at-least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat air fryer and place marinated breast on air fryer rack. Cook 5 minutes.
  3. Flip after 5 minutes and add seasoned beans.
  4. Cook additional five minutes or until chicken is cooked through. If cooking beans, make sure to stir twice (every 2 mins) for even cooking. 

Air Fryer Timings for Cooking Chicken Breast

Time to cook chicken breast in air fryer vary based on two things:

  1. Size of Chicken Breast. For example, when air fried at 375 degrees Fahrenheit, smaller chicken breasts will be ready in 10 minutes where as large chicken breasts will take 12-14 minutes.
  2. Size of Air Fryer.  For example, if an air fryer is bigger in size (i.e. more space to circulate hot air), it will cook faster than smaller. So to ensure proper cooking, always preheat air fryer for 3 minutes. After first 5 minutes of cooking, flip chicken and then cook 5 minutes, then on keep an eye and check every 2 minutes for doneness. 

Air Fryer Moist Chicken Breast Boneless No Breading

Air fryer makes cooking fun and fast! I've been using it more than my pressure cooker. (which says a lot) If you are still thinking to buy an air fryer, I can tell you that it's a worth investment. The time I've saved by cooking dinner in air fryer has already paid off my investment (plus few folds).
