extra virgin olive oil
Seasonings seasoned salt, pepper, spice blend, etc

Instructions

Preheat your Air Fryer to 360 degrees, or the closest temperature setting to 360 degrees on your model.
Brush then season both sides of the chicken breasts with extra virgin olive oil and desired seasonings. OR, marinate chicken breasts in prepared Italian dressing for as little as 10 minutes, or up to 24 hours. Pat dry with a paper towel prior to air frying.
Spray the basket of the air fryer with nonstick spray then add the chicken breasts — they can be touching but not overlapping. Air fry for 13-15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees, flipping the chicken breasts halfway through. Let the chicken breasts rest for 5-10 minutes then slice and serve.
