Ingredients

▢ 2 chicken breast fillet in half
▢ ½ lemon juice
▢ 2 tablespoon olive oil or other neutral oil (not extra virgin oil)
▢ 1 tablespoon soy sauce use lower sodium type if watching salt levels
▢ 1 tablespoon oregano dried

Instructions

In a plastic bag, add chicken and all other ingredients. Massage marinade and seasoning onto chicken.
Preheat air fryer to 400°F for a couple of minutes then place chicken breasts on air fryer rack. Cook 4 minutes on each side. Cut into a piece to check if juices run clear and if chicken is no longer pink. Cooked internal temperature of chicken should be 165°F
Rest chicken for 3-5 minutes, then serve with easy sides.

Notes

Storage and Reheating

Refrigerate either wrapped or in a sealed container for up to 3 days.

If well wrapped, these will freeze well. Use within 3 months.

To reheat, allow frozen chicken to thaw in the refrigerator overnight. I prefer reheating in my airfryer at 400°F for a few minutes (4-5 minutes usually works). Watch closely to not overcook.
