Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings 2 teaspoons paprika 1 teaspoon ground thyme 1 teaspoon cumin ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper ½ teaspoon onion powder ½ teaspoon black pepper ¼ teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons vegetable oil 2 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves Directions Mix paprika, thyme, cumin, cayenne, onion powder, black pepper, and salt together in a bowl; transfer to a large plate. Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees F (175 degrees C). 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. 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). Transfer chicken to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
