If you want juicy, air fryer chicken breasts are the way to go. No more dry meat, just juicy, moist, perfectly cooked chicken breasts every time.

Air fryer chicken breasts are juicy, quick, and never dry. I usually meal prep a bunch of chicken breasts at the beginning of the week (especially if I have a really busy week) and I find that the air fryer is the best, most consistent way to make them. I then use the cooked chicken breasts in salads, wraps, burritos, tacos, sandwiches, noodle bowls, pasta, or even on their own as a no-carb snack.

How long to cook chicken breast in the air fryer?

• Boneless chicken breasts: Air fry at 400°F for 12-15 mins, depending on size, flipping halfway.
• Bone in chicken breasts: Air fry at 400°F for 25-28 mins, depending on size, flipping halfway.
• Frozen boneless chicken breasts: Air fry from frozen at 360°F for 25-30 mins, depending on size, flipping halfway.

You want to air fry the breasts until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, or until the juices run clear. Chicken breasts come in all sizes and thickness, so it’s best to get an instant read thermometer to make sure that they reach 165°F.

After the chicken breasts are done, remove from the air fryer immediately (otherwise they’ll start to overcook) and let rest for 2 minutes before enjoying!
