Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat to ensure even cooking for the chicken.
- Season the chicken: Rub the chicken breasts evenly with olive oil. Sprinkle ranch seasoning, salt, and pepper so that each piece is well coated with flavor.
- Arrange in air fryer basket: Place the chicken breasts in a single layer inside the air fryer basket to allow hot air to circulate around each piece for even cooking.
- Cook the chicken: Air fry the chicken for 15-18 minutes, flipping the breasts halfway through the cooking time. Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) to ensure they are fully cooked and safe to eat.
- Serve: Remove the chicken from the air fryer, serve immediately, and enjoy your flavorful and healthy ranch chicken.
Notes
- Ensure chicken breasts are of even thickness for consistent cooking.
- Flipping halfway helps achieve an evenly browned and juicy chicken.
- Ranch seasoning can be homemade or store-bought depending on preference.
- Use a meat thermometer to avoid undercooking or overcooking the chicken.
