Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • to taste salt and pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix the olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
Cooking
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (190°C).
  2. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  3. Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  4. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Notes

For best flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes. It can also be coated in breadcrumbs for added texture.
