Ingredients
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon ground thyme
1 teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
Directions
Mix paprika, thyme, cumin, cayenne, onion powder, black pepper, and salt together in a bowl; transfer to a large plate.
Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Rub oil over each chicken breast until fully coated, then press into spice mixture until all sides are coated. Let sit for 5 minutes while the air fryer preheats. Place into the air fryer basket.
Air-fry chicken until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Transfer chicken to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
