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. For this recipe, I marinate chicken breast (boneless and skinless) in Greek style marinate of lemon, herbs and garlic. That's it. Once marinated, cook chicken in air fryer. 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:
- Olive oil
- Lemon Juice
- Garlic
- Herbs - Oregano & Cumin
- Paprika
- Salt and Pepper
Marinade helps to tenderize chicken and infuse with delicious herb, garlic and lemon flavor.
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)
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.
- Preheat Air Fryer - This ensures even cooking from the start. Chicken cook golden browns from outside and juicy inside.
- Adjust the timings as per the side/make and model of air fryer. (more on this ahead)
- 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)
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:
- Marinate Chicken Breast for at-least 30 minutes.
- Preheat air fryer and place marinated breast on air fryer rack. Cook 5 minutes.
- Flip after 5 minutes and add seasoned beans.
- 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:
- 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.
- 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 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).
