Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or dish, pour the marinade over them, and let sit for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for more flavor).
- Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to heat up for about 5 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Place the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Air fry for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Top with fresh parsley and serve with your favorite sides!
Notes
For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes. Use chicken thighs for juicier meat, and store leftovers for up to 3 days.
