Cook these blackened chicken breasts in your air fryer — there's no need to dirty a cast iron skillet and fill your house with smoke!

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground thyme
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 0.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
  • 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 2 skinless , 6 ounce

Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix paprika, thyme, cumin, cayenne, onion powder, black pepper, and salt together in a bowl; transfer to a large plate.

  2. 2

    Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  3. 3

    Rub oil over each chicken breast until fully coated, then press into spice mixture until all sides are coated. Let sit for 5 minutes while the air fryer preheats. Place into the air fryer basket.

  4. 4

    Air-fry chicken until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

  5. 5

    Transfer chicken to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
