Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Chicken breasts
- 4, boneless and skinless
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon
- Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon
- Blackened seasoning
- 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the blackened seasoning, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to ensure a nice sear. Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring all sides are coated.
- Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not touching each other for even cooking.
- Cook the chicken in the air fryer for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Slice the chicken and serve it with your favorite sides, drizzling with additional lemon juice for a bright finish.
