How to Make Air Fryer Chicken Breast Without Breading:

Preheat the air fryer to 380°F as required by its instructions, some need it, some don’t. My air fryer needs to be preheated for 3 minutes.
In the meantime, rub the chicken with yogurt and spices.
Place chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket (I have and love this air fryer which has a really roomy basket!).
Air fry on the first side for 7 minutes.
Flip (add brussels sprouts, if using) and cook for another 5-7 minutes until chicken is cooked through. The best is to check with a meat thermometer, the internal temperature should be 165°F.
Remove immediately and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before enjoying! When ready to serve, slice against the grain.

FAQ

How long does chicken breast take in and air fryer?

The best way of checking is with a meat thermometer. Otherwise, remove a piece from the fryer and pierce or cut it into the thickest part. The meat should be completely white, but still juicy.
If the pieces of meat you have are of irregular size, think about removing the smaller pieces sooner.

Veggies, salad, potatoes, rice, pasta, the options are endless! I served mine with brussels sprouts, which you can add to the air fryer once you flip the chicken and cook for another 5-7 minutes.
