1 Mixing bowl large

Ingredients

Marinade

1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Chicken

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

Preparation

In a large bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and coat well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F while the chicken marinates.
Place marinated chicken in the air fryer basket. Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the chicken and cook for an additional 2 minutes until melted.

Serving

Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges if desired.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Pro Tips: Marinate overnight for enhanced flavor. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer. Use fresh herbs for a brighter taste.
Ingredient Substitutions: Use chicken thighs for a juicier texture. Substitute parmesan with nutritional yeast for a dairy-free option.
How to Serve: Pair with a side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
Storage & Freshness: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Make-Ahead Tips: Marinate the chicken a day in advance to save time.
