  • Prepare the Chicken
    Brush the frozen chicken breasts with olive oil on both sides. Mix the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl, then sprinkle the seasoning blend generously over the chicken.
  • Arrange in the Air Fryer  
    Arrange the seasoned chicken breasts in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Ensure there’s enough space between them for the air to circulate properly.
