9 steps
Prep:5minCook:18min
There is nothing worse than eating a dry chicken breast. A lot of times people will just skip the breast because it can be the trickiest to cook. The key is to go low and slow so you can make sure the inside fully cooks, without drying and burning the outside. It's also important to season your meat! This flavor profile is unreal and definitely one of my new favorites!
This step by step recipe will give you the breakdown you need to make super juicy chicken breasts right in your air fryer and all in less than 25 minutes! Perfect to add to rice bowls or enjoy with some fresh veggies too.
