Ingredients

  • 4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • ¼ cup chicken broth or white wine
  • 2 teaspoons Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoons Onion Powder
  • 1 teaspoons Sea Salt
  • 1 ½ Tbsp black pepper
  • ½ teaspoons dried Thyme
  • ¼ Cup White Wine Optional - See Note
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2.5 Tbsp. Lemon Pepper Seasoning store bought or homemade.

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, add the lemon juice, chicken broth OR white wine, garlic and onion powder, salt, pepper and thyme. Add olive oil and mix.
  • Place the chicken breasts into the bowl and place in refrigerator. Allow allow to marinade at least 1 hour, but up to 2-3 hours. DO NOT leave more than 4 hours, or the lemon can toughen the chicken.
  • When ready to go, remove the chicken from the marinade and sprinkle with lemon pepper seasoning.
  • Cook in your air fryer, at 360 degrees F for 9 minutes. Open air fryer and flip the chicken breast over and cook for another 9 minutes. Larger chicken breasts will need more cook time, and smaller ones may need less time.
  • When done, open air fryer, and check chicken with a thermometer. Chicken should be cooked to 160 degrees F. If ready, allow to cool slightly (about five minutes) in the fryer basket, and serve!
