Chicken Breast in Air Fryer: Juicy, and Delicious
Let’s be honest—cooking chicken breast perfectly can be a little intimidating. Too long, and it’s dry. Too short, and it’s undercooked.

Directions

Let’s be honest—cooking chicken breast perfectly can be a little intimidating. Too long, and it’s dry. Too short, and it’s undercooked. But when you make chicken breast in the air fryer, you get the best of both worlds: juicy, flavorful meat with a beautifully crisp outside. And the best part? It’s fast, fuss-free, and healthy.

Whether you're meal-prepping for the week or just need a protein-packed dinner in under 20 minutes, this recipe is a total game changer—especially when you're working with clean, pasture-raised poultry like Ferguson Farms Chicken Breast.

Why Use an Air Fryer?

If you’re already an air fryer fan, you know what the hype is about. For everyone else—here’s the scoop. The air fryer gives you crispy, golden textures similar to deep-frying, but without the extra oil. It's also fast. Think: fully cooked, juicy chicken breasts in 15 minutes or less.

Pair that with grass-fed, pasture-raised chicken and you’ve got a weeknight hero that’s anything but basic.

Air Fryer Chicken Breast Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 2 Ferguson Farms chicken breasts

  • 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • 1/2 tsp onion powder

  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper

  • Optional: Fresh herbs (like thyme or rosemary) for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Prep the Chicken
    Pat your chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps the oil and seasonings stick better—and gives you that nice crust on the outside.

  2. Season Generously
    Rub both sides of the chicken breasts with olive oil. Then sprinkle on the garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Massage it in like you mean it.

  3. Preheat the Air Fryer
    Set your air fryer to 375°F and let it warm up for 2-3 minutes. This helps with even cooking.

  4. Cook
    Place chicken breasts in the basket (don’t overcrowd them) and air fry for 9–12 minutes, flipping halfway through. Internal temp should hit 165°F.

  5. Rest & Serve
    Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps lock in all those juices. Serve over a salad, with roasted veggies, or slice it for wraps and sandwiches.

Tips for the Best Air-Fried Chicken Breast

  • Thickness matters – Thinner breasts cook faster. If needed, pound them to even thickness before seasoning.

  • Let it rest – Always let your chicken rest after cooking. Trust us, it’s worth the wait.

  • Customize your spice blend – Swap in Cajun, Italian seasoning, lemon pepper, or even a smoky BBQ rub.
