Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 frozen chicken breast approx. 6 oz (boneless, skinless)
  • 2 teaspoons chicken seasoning mix [Note 1]
  • 1 tablespoon light olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat air fryer to 360°F/ 180°C.
  • Remove frozen chicken breast from packaging and place in a large bowl or on a plate. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle over the seasoning. Press the oil and seasoning on to the chicken breast to make sure it is well coated.
  • Place chicken breast in air fryer basket. If you are cooking more than one, place in a single layer, and ensure they are not touching.
  • Air fry frozen chicken breasts for 22-30 minutes at 360°F/ 180°C until the internal temperature reaches 165°F/ 74°C the whole way through [Note 2].
  • Remove chicken breasts from the air fryer, cover with foil and leave to rest for 5-10 minutes.

Notes

  1. Choose one that contains salt, or add ½ teaspoon salt per chicken breast.
  2. Test the internal temperature in the center at the thickest point and in several other places to ensure the chicken breast is 165°F/ 74°C the whole way through.
