Instructions

In a large bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 teaspoons of dried thyme, 2 teaspoons of onion powder, 2 teaspoons of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon of black pepper, and ½ teaspoon of paprika.
Dry the chicken breasts with paper towels to help the spice rub adhere better. Brush the seasoning mixture onto both sides of the chicken breasts.
Preheat the air fryer to 375℉ for 5 minutes. Place the chicken in a single layer and cook for 10 minutes. Flip them over and cook for another 10 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165℉ as measured by a meat thermometer.
Allow the chicken to rest on a cutting board or plate before slicing, enabling the juices to remain inside, which keeps the chicken tender and juicy. Slice and serve.

Notes

Ensure the chicken breasts are of equal size for even cooking.
Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness, as cooking times may vary slightly based on the size of the chicken breasts.
Experiment with seasoning by adding your favorite herbs to the mixture.
