This recipe is so insanely good. It is EXTREMELY versatile and super easy to make.

Would make for a great meal prep item for ZERO WW points, 196 calories and has 35.1 grams of protein.

Here is what you will need:

• Air fryer
• Cooking spray
• Avocado oil spray
• Chicken breast
• Salt
• Pepper
• Dried oregano
• Garlic powder
• Onion powder
• Smoked paprika chipotle or smoked paprika
• Dak’s Green Zest or Italian seasoning
• Dried basil

This is the AMAZING air fryer from GoWise and it fits so much inside. Grab yours HERE.

You can use fresh or frozen, just make sure to defrost the frozen before preparing.

This is the most perfect oil sprayer. This one has lasted me over 5 years and still works great! Grab yours HERE.

I found the Victoria Taylor smoky paprika chipotle seasoning at TJMaxx or Marshall’s and so glad I did because it has the tastiest flavoring. You can get it off of Amazon if interested. 

If you do not have Dak’s Green Zest, you can use Italian seasoning. If you’d like to try out Dak’s Spices use code CHEFALLIE at Dak’s Spices.

How to make it:

1. Preheat air fryer or oven to 400 degrees
2. In a bowl place the chicken breast
   1. If you are making “nuggets” cut up the chicken first, then add to the bowl
3. Spray the chicken with avocado oil
4. Add all of the seasonings
5. Coat very well all over the chicken
6. Spray the air fryer basket or tray with cooking spray
7. Place the chicken onto or in the air fryer tray or basket
8. Spray the chicken again with some cooking spray
9. Cook until the chicken reaches 165 degress interally
   1. All chicken times will be different depending on the size and thickness of the chicken
10. Once done, let the chicken rest on a place before slicing
    1. If you slice your chicken immediately after removing from the air fryer you will have a dry chicken because all of the juices will pour out. That is why you wait and let rest before slicing.
