Air Fryer Chicken Breast
This air fryer chicken breast is juicy, perfectly seasoned, and ready in about 25 minutes - no marinating, no brining, no fuss. A simple spice rub with paprika, garlic powder, cayenne, curry powder, and nutmeg gives the chicken a warm, golden crust while the air fryer locks in all the moisture. Serve it sliced over rice, alongside a fresh salad, or as part of your weekly meal prep.
