Description
A simple and delicious way to prepare tender, juicy chicken breasts in the air fryer without the need for breading or flour.

- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
- Step: In a small bowl, mix the salt, pepper, garlic powder and oregano together.
- Step: Spray the chicken breasts on the smooth presentation side with cooking spray.
- Step: Sprinkle the seasoning blend on each chicken breast and use your hands to pat it so it sticks.
- Step: Place the chicken breasts, seasoned side down, in the air fryer basket.
- Step: Spray the upward-facing side with cooking spray and sprinkle with the remaining seasoning.
- Step: Cook for 10 minutes at 360 degrees Fahrenheit.

Notes
Ensure chicken breasts are of similar size for even cooking. For best results, use a digital timer to avoid overcooking. Resting the meat is crucial for juiciness.
