Method
1. Marinate the Chicken
Place the chicken breast in a bowl.

Mix well, making sure the chicken is evenly coated with the spices. Keep aside for some time to marinate.
2. Air Fry
Place the marinated chicken breast in the air fryer.
Air-fry at 160°C for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is completely cooked through.

Slice into even pieces and garnish with chopped green and red chillies, or with a dressing of your choice.
Serve and enjoy.
Ipshita’s Note
This is one of those simple chicken recipes where you don’t need a long list of ingredients to get plenty of flavour. A basic spice marinade and the air fryer give the chicken a beautifully roasted outside while keeping it juicy inside.
Tip
Allow the chicken to rest briefly before slicing so it retains its juices. Air-fryer cooking time can vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breast, so make sure the chicken is fully cooked before serving.
