Steps:
- Coat the chicken in the oil and set aside. In a bowl, combine the salt, garlic, paprika and mixed herbs with a good grinding of black pepper, then scatter onto a plate.
- Roll each oiled chicken breast in the seasoning and put in your air fryer basket. Cook at 180C for 18-20 mins, turning after 10 mins. To check it is cooked, pierce the chicken with a knife at the thickest part to see if the juices run clear. Or insert a temperature thermometer and it should read 70C. Serve with rice and greens or a salad.

Tips:
- Use a good quality marinade. The marinade is what will give your chicken its flavor, so it's important to use a good one. There are many different marinade recipes available, so you can choose one that suits your taste. Some popular options include soy sauce, olive oil, herbs, and spices.
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes. The longer you marinate the chicken, the more flavor it will absorb. If you're short on time, you can marinate the chicken for as little as 15 minutes, but for best results, marinate it for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your air fryer. This will help the chicken cook evenly. Most air fryers have a preheat setting, but if yours doesn't, simply set it to the highest temperature and let it run for 3-5 minutes before adding the chicken.
- Cook the chicken in a single layer. This will help the chicken cook evenly. If you overcrowd the air fryer, the chicken will not cook properly.
- Flip the chicken halfway through cooking. This will help the chicken cook evenly on both sides.
- Cook the chicken until it is golden brown and cooked through. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts, but it will typically take 10-15 minutes.
Conclusion:
Air-fried marinated chicken breast is a healthy and delicious meal that can be prepared in just a few minutes. By following these tips, you can make sure that your chicken is cooked perfectly every time. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
