Air Fryer Recipes

Cook these blackened chicken breasts in your air fryer — there's no need to dirty a cast iron skillet and fill your house with smoke!

Ingredients
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground thyme
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 2 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
Step By Step Method
  1. Mix paprika, thyme, cumin, cayenne, onion powder, black pepper, and salt together in a bowl; transfer to a large plate.
  2. Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  3. Rub oil over each chicken breast until fully coated, then press into spice mixture until all sides are coated. Let sit for 5 minutes while the air fryer preheats. Place into the air fryer basket.
  4. Air-fry chicken until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  5. Transfer chicken to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
