Instructions
Steps
- Begin by patting the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Place the chicken in a mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper over the chicken, then rub the spices into the meat until evenly coated.
- Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat for about 5 minutes.
- Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overlapping. Cook for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Transfer the cooked chicken breasts to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes. Use two forks to shred the chicken by pulling it apart into thin pieces.
Notes
Store any leftover shredded chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
