3 to 4 teaspoons of seasoning Salt (use your favorite one!)

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 380 degrees F if your model requires preheating.
Place the thin chicken breast in a bowl or use a cutting board. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder if using. Add a small amount of oil and toss to coat.
Arrange the chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overlap.
Air fry for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping or shaking halfway through.
Check for doneness. The chicken should be opaque, lightly golden, and juicy.
Let the chicken rest for 2 minutes before slicing or serving.

Notes

Thin sliced chicken cooks very fast, so start checking at the 6 minute mark. If the pieces are different sizes, remove the smaller ones first. Letting the chicken rest for a couple minutes helps keep it juicy.
