Tips & Tricks
To ensure the chicken breast is juicy, make sure not to overcook them! Remove the chicken breast from the air fryer when the internal temperature reaches 165F with a meat thermometer.
Let the chicken breast rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the chicken to absorb its juices and not dry out.
