Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts or 4 thin sliced chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika* I suggest sweet paprika for low histamine readers
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper optional
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 390F / 200C for 3 minutes.
- If you are slicing the chicken breast yourself, slice horizontally with a sharp knife so you have two equal size pieces. It's usually best to slice from the thicker part of the chicken through to the thinner side.
- Pat dry the chicken with paper towel and place in a large bowl. Drizzle over the olive oil, then tip in the sweet paprika, dried oregano, dried parsley, garlic powder, salt and black pepper (if using). Use your hands or tongs to coat the spices and herbs all over the chicken pieces, both sides.
- Place the thinly sliced chicken in the air fryer basket. Use tongs as the basket will be hot! Air fry for 8-12 minutes, flipping after 5 minutes. Check with a meat thermometer for an internal temperature of 165F at their deepest point. Cook time will vary slightly depending on the thickness of the chicken, as well as how hot your air fryer runs (some seem hotter than others).
Notes
*I suggest my low histamine readers use sweet paprika (scores 0 on the SIGHI list). If not, smoked paprika can also be used, but you may wish to use ½ teaspoon rather than 1 teaspoon as it has a more intense flavor.
- Arrange the thin chicken breasts in the air fryer basket with a little space between them to allow the air to circulate.
- Allow to rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking.
- Nutritional information is auto-generated and should be understood to be an estimate.
- garlic, which scores 1.
- black pepper, which scores 2.
