Are you looking to add some zing to your usual chicken breast routine? I’ve got just the recipe for you! MarinatingMarinating the chicken in a lemon-herb mixture beforehand infuses it with bright, vibrant flavors that pair perfectly with the quick and easy air frying method. The outcome is crisp, golden outside and succulent, tender chicken inside.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
● four boneless, skinless chicken breasts
● three tablespoons lemon juice (juice from 1 lemon)
● two teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
● one teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
● two cloves garlic, minced
● 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
● 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
● Optional: lemon slices for garnish
Marinade Time!
In a wide-mouthed bowl, combine the lemon juice, garlic that has been chopped, fresh herbs, salt, and pepper.
Stir to coat the chicken breasts equally with marinade.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours while covered.
Breading and Frying : Air Fryer Chicken Herby
● Remove chicken from marinade, letting any excess drip off.
● Place 1⁄2 cup flour in a shallow dish. Dredge each breast lightly.
● Arrange chicken in a single layer in an air fryer basket.
● Cook at 400°F for 14-16 minutes, flipping halfway.
Thanks to the air fryer, the chicken will turn golden brown and become crispy outside while staying tender and juicy inside! For an extra pop of flavor, top with thin lemon slice garnishes.
I like serving this lemony chicken with roasted potatoes or a fresh green salad for a complete meal. Regardless, I know you’ll be amazed at how just a few simple ingredients infuse so much extra dimension.
