Ingredients
- 2 chicken breast
- salt, to taste
- chilli powder, to taste
- turmeric, to taste
- chicken masala, to taste
- oregano, to taste
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1 fresh lemon juice
- 2 fresh coriander
Instructions
- 1Place the chicken breasts in a large bowl and pat them dry with paper towels.
- 2In a separate small bowl, combine salt, chilli powder, turmeric, chicken masala, and oregano; stir until evenly mixed.
- 3Add the yogurt to the spice mixture and whisk until a smooth marinate forms.
- 4Pour the yogurt‑spice marinate over the chicken breasts, turning to coat each piece thoroughly. Let the chicken rest for 5‑7 minutes at room temperature to absorb flavors.
- 5While the chicken marinates, preheat the air fryer to 356°F (350°F) for 3 minutes.
- 6Arrange the coated chicken breasts in a single layer in the air‑fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap.
- 7Air‑fry at 356°F for 15 minutes, flipping the breasts halfway through (around the 7‑minute mark) to achieve even browning.
- 8Check for doneness by cutting into the thickest part; the internal temperature should reach 167°F (165°F). If needed, add 2‑3 more minutes.
- 9Immediately after cooking, drizzle the lemon juice over the hot chicken or melt a small pat of butter and brush it on for extra richness.
- 10Transfer the chicken to a serving plate, sprinkle the chopped fresh coriander on top, and let it rest for 2 minutes before slicing.
- 11Serve the air‑fried chicken breasts with your favorite dip, sliced onions, or a side such as a green salad or roasted vegetables.
