Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Pat the chicken dry and rub with olive oil.
  2. Coat both sides evenly with the taco seasoning.
  3. Arrange in the air fryer basket in a single layer without crowding.
  4. Air fry at 375 degrees F for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken reaches 165 degrees F.
  5. Rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the basket or you block the airflow. The olive oil helps the seasoning stick and promotes browning - skip it and the spices taste flat. Resting for five minutes keeps the juices in rather than running out when you cut.
