Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels—this helps the seasoning stick better and ensures a crispier finish. If they’re uneven in thickness, lightly pound them to about ½-inch thickness for even cooking.

In a small bowl, mix the lemon pepper seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Drizzle the chicken with olive oil and lemon juice, then rub the seasoning mix evenly over both sides. Let it sit for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes. Place the chicken in the basket in a single layer, ensuring space between pieces for proper air circulation. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Let the chicken rest for 3-5 minutes before slicing. This keeps the juices locked in. Serve with extra lemon wedges or a fresh salad!
