Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (180°C).
- Step 2: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Step 3: Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
- Step 4: Place the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overlapping.

Notes
- Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For best results, reheat sliced chicken in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until warmed through, avoiding dryness.
- Serve this juicy chicken breast sliced over a crisp salad or tucked into a warm pita with your favorite toppings.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if needed to ensure even cooking and crispy edges.
