Air Fried Chicken Breast
jeffraben.com/recipes · No. 30
A frozen chicken breast can be one of the greatest last minute dinner hacks. But is it really a hack if you have to start with hours of defrosting? No, so we're not doing that. We're using the air fryer because we know better. And wait till you see how it turns out.
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat air fryer to 375, put in the breasts and cook 5 minutes - this is just to soften them
- In a small bowl, combine the oil, soy, garlic powder, smoked paprika, syrup and pepper - mix well
- After the 5-minute pre-cook, brush both sides of the chicken with the soy mixture and cook 8-10 minutes, then flip and cook another 8-10, or until the internal temp hits 155-160*
- Let rest 5 minutes before slicing
* While it's true they say to cook chicken breasts to 165 - the chicken will continue cooking once it comes out of the fryer. So if you cook it to 165, it can end up dry. So if you pull it early, you get a nice tender chicken breast beautifully cooked.
