Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb / 450 g)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (30 ml)
- 2 lemons (juiced and zested)
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano (5 g)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (5 g)
- 1 teaspoon salt (5 g)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper (2 g)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
- Add the chicken breasts to the marinade and let them sit for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge for better flavor).
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
- Place the marinated chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Cook for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Remove from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with extra lemon wedges.
Notes
- For extra flavor, try adding fresh herbs like parsley or basil.
- Marinating overnight will enhance the taste even more.
