Notes
- The cook time for these chicken breasts vary by size. If you have larger chicken breasts, check the temperature of the chicken after the 10 minutes, if the internal temperature meets 165ºF you’re good. If it needs longer in the air fryer, add 1 or 2 minutes to the cook time.
- If your chicken breasts are smaller, check the internal temperature after 7 minutes to be sure you don’t over cook the chicken.
