Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and chili powder (if using).
Rub the marinade evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 2-3 minutes.
Place the chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Air fry for 8 minutes, then flip the chicken and cook for an additional 6-8 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, rice, or in wraps and salads!
