Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless chicken breasts Tender and juicy, these chicken breasts are the main star of the dish.
  • 2 tablespoons butter Rich and creamy, the melted butter adds a lovely depth of flavor.
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder This aromatic spice gives the chicken a delightful savory kick.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Essential for enhancing the natural flavors of the chicken.

Preparation
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 380 degrees F.

Cooking

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