Prepare the Chicken Breasts:

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to ensure they cook evenly and get a nice sear.

Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil on both sides.

Season the Chicken:

In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper.

Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts, pressing it gently to adhere.

Preheat the Air Fryer:

Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.

Cook the Chicken:

Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or brush with oil to prevent sticking.

Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer.

Cook for 18-20 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.

Rest and Serve:

Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after removing it from the air fryer to allow the juices to redistribute. Slice and serve with your favorite sides.
