Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) chicken breast
2 teaspoons olive oil
garlic powder to taste
salt to taste

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (182°C) and gather all the necessary ingredients for this simple recipe.
Lightly brush both sides of the chicken breast with olive oil. Season one side generously with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Place the chicken breast seasoned-side down in the air fryer basket, then season the other side.
Air fry for 9 minutes, then flip the chicken. Continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), approximately 9 more minutes. Ensure juices run clear.
Remove the chicken breast from the air fryer and let it rest, covered loosely with foil, for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps retain the juices.
