Instructions
Preparation Steps
Begin by preheating your air fryer to 400°F. While it's heating up, take each chicken breast and season them with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub the spices in so they coat the chicken well for flavor.
Wrap each seasoned chicken breast with bacon slices, overlapping them slightly to cover the entire piece of meat. This not only adds flavor but also keeps the chicken moist during cooking.
Place the bacon-wrapped chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispness. Make sure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Once cooked through, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help keep the juices inside. Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful meal!
Notes
This dish is best enjoyed fresh, but leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days!
