Instructions

In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, dried thyme, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. This helps the spice rub stick more easily. Brush the seasoning mixture onto both sides of the chicken breasts.
Preheat the air fryer to 375℉ for 5 minutes. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook for 10 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook for another 10 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165℉ when checked with a meat thermometer.
Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes on a cutting board or plate before slicing. This keeps the juices locked in and makes the chicken extra tender and juicy. Slice and serve!

Notes

Ensure chicken breasts are of equal size for even cooking.
Using a meat thermometer is recommended to check for proper doneness.
Letting the chicken rest before slicing enhances its tenderness.
