Ingredients

• 2–4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1½ tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• ½ tsp dried oregano
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ¾ tsp kosher salt
• Optional: ¼ tsp cayenne for heat

Instructions

1. Pound breasts to ~¾ inch uniform thickness — this is the key to even cooking and juicy results. A zip-lock bag and rolling pin works fine.
2. Pat completely dry with paper towels.
3. Rub with olive oil, then coat evenly with all spices.
4. Preheat Ninja Crispi to 375°F for 3 minutes.
5. Place breasts in a single layer — do not overlap. Air fry at 375°F for 14–18 minutes, flipping halfway.
6. Check internal temp at 14 minutes. Pull at 165°F — don’t overshoot or they’ll dry out.
7. Rest 5 minutes before slicing.

Meal Prep Notes

• Store up to 4 days in the fridge.
• Reheat in Ninja Crispi at 375°F for 5–6 minutes. Add a small splash of chicken broth to the container before sealing to retain moisture.
• Slice and serve over rice, roasted veggies, or a green salad.
• Chicken breasts dry out faster than thighs — the pounding step and the 165°F pull are both non-negotiable.
• If breasts are very large (over 8 oz each), add 2–3 minutes and check temp early.
