Ingredients
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes.
Whisk together lemon juice, cracked black pepper, sea salt, olive oil, and garlic powder in a small bowl.
Pat chicken breasts dry and season both sides with the marinade mixture.
Place chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring pieces are not overlapping.
Air fry for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Chicken should be at room temperature for even cooking.
Use a meat thermometer for precise doneness.
Marinate for 30 minutes ahead for extra juiciness.
