👨🍳 Steps
1In a small bowl, mix smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and olive oil.
2Brush each frozen chicken breast with the oil and spice mixture, ensuring even coverage on all sides.
3Place the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them for proper air circulation.
4Select the Air Crisp program at 180°C (350°F) and cook for 15 minutes.
5Flip the chicken breasts and cook for another 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches at least 74°C (165°F). For very large pieces, you may need 30–35 minutes total.
6Let the chicken breasts rest for 5 minutes before slicing to retain the juices.
