- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano

Preparation Steps
- Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels. If thicker than 1 inch, pound to even thickness for uniform cooking.
- In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Brush both sides of chicken with olive oil, then rub evenly with the spice mixture.
- Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
- Place chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between pieces.
- Cook for 10 minutes, then flip chicken and cook for another 8–10 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Let rest for 3–5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For extra crispiness, spray the chicken lightly with cooking spray before air frying. Serve with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
