For enhanced flavor, consider marinating the chicken breast in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs (such as rosemary or thyme) for at least 30 minutes before air frying. Ensure even cooking by not overcrowding the air fryer basket. If cooking multiple chicken breasts, do so in batches. Cooking times may vary depending on the air fryer model and the thickness of the chicken breast. Always check for doneness using a thermometer to ensure food safety. Serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or creamy mashed potatoes.
