1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper

4. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
5. Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in the air fryer basket.

Notes
Use chicken breasts that are similar in size for even cooking.
Don’t skip the resting time; it keeps the chicken juicy.
Always check with a thermometer for safe internal temperature.
